I am trying to upgrade my iTunes songs to iTunes plus. As Apple recommends, you have to sign-up to Match. When I did, I got a message stating "My library contains too many songs" and I cannot participate. How do I get around this?
Thanks!
Mac OS X (10.6.8), ITunes 11.0.2
iTunes Match allows a maximum of 25,000 tracks, not including any tracks purchased from the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID you use to sign up for Match. If you have more than 25,000 tracks, you will need to split your library so that the library you wish to sign up has less than that number.

Jeez... why does Apple set a threshold anyways? Seems like musical communism. Unless this is mandated by record companies.
Splitting libraries just complicates things such as doubling searching efforts and not being able to shuffle all your music.
Tactics like this will just force people to get their music from somewhere else.
It's almost certainly a limit set by the terms of Apple's contract with the record companies.
In any case, it is what it is. At this time there's no other option.

thanks for your assistance!
