Jul 24, 2015 2:41 PM in response to gjhvsby Drew Reece,Apple music is a subscription service - the files are mp4 because that includes Apple Fairplay DRM. It means when your subscription expires the files can be prevented from playing.
The files you uploaded appear to be similar enough to ones that Apple has, so it matched them to ones in the store.
I think this may help, but do a test & keep a backup of your library before you begin.

Jul 25, 2015 1:15 AM in response to Drew Reeceby gjhvs,Hi Drew Reece,
Oops, it didn't help. But I can live with it... On my iMac I have the original file in MP3 format.
But THIS I find strange:
On my iMac the file is 3:01 minutes long, and it plays the Demo version of the song. That'ss correct.
When I go to my Mac Book the same song is there, even with the right title but it plays the album version which is 4 minutes long!
Apple has replaced the demo file with the album version on my Mac Book...
How can that happen? I have uploaded the demo version (which is correct in iTunes on my iMac)...

Jul 25, 2015 5:04 AM in response to gjhvsby suiluj,Apple fixed this problem which incorrectly downloaded your own "matched" songs from itunes match as protected apple music files:
You have to update itunes to the newest version.
After that you have to delete the downloads of the incorrect songs (do not delete the song from your library!)
Then they can be downloaded as your file without drm protection again.
For me it did not work at first but after log out from apple id in itunes and relogin songs were redownloaded correctly as my own without .m4p drm protection
Redownload songs stay Apple Music DRM protected
Here i explained how to find all wrong downloaded songs:
How do you tell which songs were downloaded incorrectly?
I hope that solves your problem.
Regards
Julius
