iTunes Match & only locally songs
iTunes Match : I would like to decide which songs I don't want to iCloud having them only locally . How can I do it ?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
Hi,
No you can't decide what tracks go into cloud. If the track is eligible. it will either be matched or uploaded. However, you can work around this by changing the media type to something other than music e.g. Podcast or Audiobook. Both are ineligible for match. You can't change media type when match is on.
Another option is to open an new library and then turn on match. You will see all the music you have in the cloud. You can delete tracks from the cloud and when you go back to the original library, the tracks will still be there but the iCloud status will be shown as "Remove". This essentially will now be a local file and match will ignore for future scans.
