Q: I let my match subscription go because I was having a lot of problems with it. I re-subscribed and it reset all my database of music back to when I last had match. How do I fix this?

I ended up letting my itunes match subscription go because I was having a lot of problems with it. I was getting a lot of music where it would play the censored version instead of explicit like I have. After attempting numerous times to fix I gave up and let match expire. I had updated my library by downloading a number of AAC versions from itunes and then manually deleted all of them and added the proper files back by re-ripping my CD's again. I also added a bunch of new music and because I use a rating system, re organized all my music and rated some stuff with new ratings and higher star ratings.

 

About 3 months passed and I decided to give match another try. After getting it, I found it odd that my database was put there in virtually no time. Not only that, a significant amount of music I deleted (but was in the old match subscription) showed up. I knew it was broken at that point, but today, I was listening to music and items which I know have been updated and changed, have also reverted back to old settings. Is there a way to fix this?

 

Also, I'm REALLY annoyed with match again. After all my work, I STILL have censored music as my match music. It is really annoying to have different music on my computer than what is in the cloud (not to mention the music which will not upload to the cloud and just constantly says "waiting"!!)
