Q: blood sugar sex magik not matching

I have my original CD copy of the Red Hot Chili Peppers album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. I've ripped/added it to iTunes multiple times. However, six of the songs consistently will not Match with iTunes Match. The songs that won't match are:

 

  • Funky Monks
  • Suck My Kiss
  • Give It Away
  • Blood Sugar Sex Magik
  • Naked in the Rain
  • My Lovely Man

 

Those songs all show as "Uploaded" instead of "Matched".

 

I even picked up a copy of the CD from the library to try ripping a different copy, but I get the same result.

 

Is anyone else having this issue and are you aware of a solution? I'd like to download the clean/match versions because of a couple of skips.

 

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Itunes match uses the sound profile to determine if song can be matched. They will not match if they are faulty. Suggest that you delete those tracks and reimport non faulty version in a different format e.g. MP3 instead of aac or vice versa.
