iTunes Match - Can it help me?

Evening all,

I've had a very bad day. My old mac have given up on me today - loosing files, photographs and music. No iCloud present - long story.

So, I still have my iTunes library on my iPad, and I have now installed iTunes on a spare PC.

If I was to purchase iTunes Match, could it sync my music from my iPad's iTunes library to empty library on the PC?

As far as I understand, Home Sharing only syncs purchases from iTunes, and 99% of my library is from good old CDs.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Hannah 🙂
