Is there a daily download limit in Match?

I can still stream tunes but after downloading 20-30 albums (populating my new iPhone 6+ 128gb) it has stopped downloading any more...The player just sits there with red rings and stop squares on all cued tracks. This is on the works internet connection so speed bandwidth is not an issue.

As I can still stream as yet un-downloaded tunes I assume there is a limit to the amount of data you can DL in a day (or is it a track limit?)

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8, 128gb

Hi,

There is no limit. You would be quicker turning off match, then manually sync the music you need, then turn match back on for ad hoc downloads.

Sadly, this technique does not work. As soon as you turn iTunes Match back on it removes the contents of your library.

When you enable iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and replaced with your music in iCloud.

from iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Hi

Despite what the article states about deleting library, it did not happen to me. I had synced around 1000 tracks by usb to my iPad mainly because I was have dificulty in downloading tracks from match.

I Recently decided to turn match back on. None of the tracks were removed plus I had access to all my other tracks.
