25,000 Song Limit

iOS 9 is here. El Capitan is here. The 100,000 raised song limit is not. And Apple is keeping mum on this. There were mentions on some Forums people successfully added more than the 25,000 song limits into their library. Is this false news or Apple is indeed rolling it out slowly? Only Apple knows. With the ability for me to build a catalog of songs and albums from both my iTunes library (albums I ripped from my CD collection and not available in Apple Music catalog) and Apple Music catalog, this 25K limitation is crippling that concept for serious music fans.

There were no news on that false or otherwise from Apple. Apple news are available here, everything else is speculation.

It seems it's done. Can anyone here confirm?

WWonder if they also fixed the mis-matching issue. Would like that cured before I try my full iTunes library.

Looks like it is indeed bumped up. I have 77,241 songs available in my car through the iPhone's Apple Music. It was never more than 25,000 songs a few days ago. Thank you Apple. Better late than never.

I confirm, this is now working! I have over 55k of my own music on my Mac and they are now a part of my iCloud Library and its all showing up now on my iPhone and iPads! Sweet.

Yes, they did raise limit - I also have about 55k in my ICML. Unfortunately they still have not fixed the mis-matching issues. Hopefully that will come soon.

So whats the mis-match issue? I mean if your library is not perfect its going to be hard to match some music with what they own vs. what you own right?

I was pretty anal with my library and kept the meta data clean and I've some mis matches I think, but I don't expect it to be perfect I suppose.

Is there something more detailed to the mis match errors?

There have been numerous threads and complaints about the logarithms that Apple uses - at least for iCloud Music Library - to "match" your library to what they have available through Apple Music. The theory being that if they have your song, why upload another copy of it, just link your library to the one in Apple Music. Unfortunately the matching is only based upon (and I heard this from two different Apple Senior techs) the Artist's Name and the Track Name. So very often live or alternative versions of songs will be mis-matched to the original studio version of a song. This results in (1) the wrong version being played on your secondary computers or devices - not the one that holds your original iTunes Library from where you did the initial matching from and (2) the wrong artwork showing up on various devices because it is showing the artwork from where ICML matched your song as opposed to the album that you have it from.

Has nothing to do with whether or not my library is "perfect". Yes I realize that I have a lot of non-official live versions or live versions that were gotten from sites other than iTunes, but those - assuming that those versions are not in Apple Music's library - should have been uploaded, not matched to the wrong version. Even officially released live albums that I purchased from other sites (LiveDownloads.com, artist's websites, Google Music) don't match properly.
