nf207 here are some of my complaints. So glad my subscription has expired. iTunes Match was nothing but a headace and a nusiance.


- Play Counts are not counted correctly (if at all), same goes for Last Played info

- Smart playlists don't update

- About a third of my music in the iTunes Store but not purchased there was not matched

- Many songs that were purchaed in the iTunes Store didn't get the sound upgrade to 256k

- 15 of my songs got hung up matching and were still hung up months later and after multiple tries

- No synch management via cord AT ALL with iTunes Match turned on

- it doesn't really stream tracks but downloads them in the background taking up valuabel HD space

- With the update, we lost the ability to download a single song, it's full album or nothing

- Artwork was lost or mismatched on hundreds of tracks

- Even with the service turned off I get a warning most every time I add a song to a playlist that said playlist will be removed from iCloud
