    Hello redsfanjeff,

     

     

     

    Files must meet the following requirements in order to be matched or uploaded to iTunes Match.

    • Song files over 200 MB will not be uploaded to iCloud.
    • Song files longer than two hours in length 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.
    • Songs encoded as AAC or MP3 that do not meet certain quality criteria will not be matched or uploaded to iCloud.
