    You can't upload music to iCloud, unless you are using iTunes Match, and iTunes Match doesn't take up iCloud storage, so you don't need 55 GB of storage. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4914

    • iTunes Match is limited to 25,000 songs.
    • iTunes Store purchases made with the same Apple ID being used for iTunes Match do not count towards the 25,000 song limit.
    • Unmatched content will be uploaded as is; upload time varies depending on the amounts uploaded and local network speeds.
    • Song files over 200 MB will not be uploaded to iCloud.
    • Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) will not be matched or uploaded to iCloud unless your computer is authorized for playback of that content.
