I paid for my subscription and up until yesterday was streaming AD-Free on my PC. This morning iTunes updated and now the ADs are back. How do I fix this?

Try turning off iTunes Match. Re-starting iTunes and then turn Match back on. Seems to be working for me so far.

I had the same problem and started this Q&A: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/152059/i-pay-for-itunes-match-so-why-do es-itunes-radio-now-have-ads-itunes-12-0-1-26

In short:

I went to Store -> Update iTunes Match, after it updated I skipped through the max (6 songs) on 4 different stations (24 total songs) and have not seen an ad yet. Maybe that did the trick. I was skipping through them though, not listening to them.

I have the same problem and have tried the above without the issue being corrected.

Bahhh! They're back. I got through like 5 songs and now I'm back to Ads again. Think I was just getting lucky.

I doubled checked Apple's website. It definitely says that Match users are supposed to have an AD FREE radio experience. 😕

Yep, I don't blame you. I'm honestly considering the same. The Match part is nice, but I bought it mostly so I wouldn't have to deal with ads when listening to the radio. If I can't have that, then whats the point?

Edit: I'd like to add to this (lol pun). Are all of you on the newest version of iTunes? I never had this problem until I updated to 12.0.1.

Never mind. My ads are back also. Ugh.

ditto...

Worked fine for 8 months until 10/20. Tried turning off match, sign out of itunes, exit, re-open, sign in itunes, turn on match. Maybe will try uninstalling and reinstalling if this keeps happening.

This is insult to injury after half the stations I listened to mysteriously disappeared and don't seem to exist to re-add anymore. Thankfully, my custom stations remained.

SWIFFER this away gd apple!

Hah, wow. Exact same thing here. Worked fine at home last night, but today, at work, its started the ads. I'll be very curious to see if the problem persists at home now. I can't imagine what difference there could be between the two. There really shouldn't be one, at least nothing that would provoke ads. If anything I would think the filter here at work would stop the ads. I swear, if I have to hear Kendrick Lamar's crappy rap ad one more time. 😠

iTunes on my Mac works fine. The PC version keeps playing ads. I've updated iTunes match. Restarted iTunes. Signed in. Signed out. Hopped on one foot while chanting "All hail the mighty iTunes"... no luck.
