I am sorry but it looks like we will have to disagree. I stated, "To match means that you could have a lower quality file and get a higher quality match". And this statement is a fact, so I don't want to debate semantics. In any case, the rest of what you have to say I have not commented on, in fact I don't believe I specifically addressed anything you wrote originally. Therefore, again I think you are overlooking my original comment entirely.
Yes, I do not have much experience with match, however the advice I gave was to correct the miss perception of quality, for which I do have experience with as I have read the official apple instructions on the matter. No one is expected to have to know everything in order to speak truth into this forum. And I would ask that you please consider this before you say, "It might be prudent for you to use the service before offering advice on it", as it is construed to be disrespectful given that you know very little about me and what I might be able to contribute. In other words, don't judge too quickly. Did you know that I have read a specific apple article on the matter of uploading a users lower quality file and receiving a match via iTunes Match in a higher quality? You don't need to try everything to know anything.
