I need help with iTunes Match.

I have built up a very large iTunes library. I have all my songs on my iPod classic, and used to have them all on all of my devices, but now I only have them on my iPod classic. This is because recently I started using iTunes match. I want a flawless, fully synced library, but at the moment different parts of my library are sitting in different devices. I have a MacBook Pro, an iPhone and an iPod Classic, and some of my songs are on my old PC. I am syncing my iPhone between my two different computers, and each time the result is different. I have 3 seperate libraries, on my Home Sharing, one is My iPhone. One of the libraries is from my old pc, the other is from my new MacBook. I also have a lot of duplicates. I am afraid of syncing my iPod classic with either of my computers for fear of losing everything. Can anyone please tell me how I can get all of my music onto all my devices? I have a lot of unpurchased items which I got from CD's.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

Firstly you will need to consolidate into one iTunes library. Is it your intention to keep all your music on your MacBook? On Which computer have you activated match?

This is exactly what I want to do, I want all of my music on the MacBook and then be able to give it to other devices from there. But to consolidate it I need to connect my iPod classic to my macbook, and if any of my music is removed from there it would be very disastrous for me, as it is a huge library and it is very valuable to me. Match is activated on my MacBook.
