Q: iTunes Match random songs are not upconverted to 256
I just signed up to iTunes Match and uploaded my music. Many of the albums were only partially upgraded to 256kb. I am not talking about obscure music either. For example, Andrew Lloyd Weber Evita Broadway. All tracks except 2 were upgraded. I've tried deleting my entire library from the computer and re-downloading on a Windows machine. Then tried the same on my MacBook Pro. Then tried the suggested method of creating a playlist of the low fidelity songs, deleting only those in the playlist, then redownloading. Next, I am going try deleting everything from iCloud and reuploading, then redownloading.
This is ridiculous! ITunes Match has been out for a while now. I expected simple bugs like this to have been worked out. I can't find a fix anywhere and Match doesn't appear to be refundable. I'd like my $25 back. I'd give it to my local foodbank. It was certainly wasted on iTunes Match.
