Is iTunes Match down for others? Not responding...

iTunes Match keeps telling me "there was a network connecton problem, please try again later..."


Is anyone else having problems accessing it? Lord I wish I could send Apple a bill for all my lost productivity futzing around with the beta bugging software.


WWSJD?

Great. So now it is working for me and my playlist is completely hosed!!!


Complerte FAIL on Apple's part. ***!?!?!?


I have 47 songs that say matched, but are less than 256 kb. When I delete then (but leave tham on the cloud) then the bitrate changes to 256 and the download icon appears. I click to download and it once again reverts to the less than 256 kb version. Even though it is matched, I can't get the 256 kb version.


Then there are now tons of duplicates. One version has a different sound quality than the other. One says matched and the other says duplicate and the "duplicate" version often is better sound quality, even though both say the same bit rate and same file size.


Then there are now tons of songs that "seem" like duplicates, but one is 2 or 3 seconds longer than the other. Excact same song in every regard, except in play length. These "duplicates" did not exist before.


My entiere library is completely mucked up!!!!


Apple FAIL! 😠

Working here in the US (Windows 7 iTunes, in my case). iCloud is visible, matching is working (and actually faster than normal). Just a heads up for my location.
