Ineligible for iCloud Music Library

My friend creates really good music mixes, some of which are up to three and a half hours long. I assume there is a limit to the song time that can be uploaded onto iCloud music library because I am getting the 'ineligible for iCloud music library' notification?

Is there anyway around this apart from splitting the song into 2 AAC versions?

I don't really want to have to split them into 2 AAC versions because it play only half the mix when I have the playlist on shuffle.

Can i put in a request to increase the limit of iCloud Music Library, you know, because I am paying for it.

I am an Apple Music member and pay for iCloud storage. Spotify would not have this issue (just saying)

Hi,

The size of the file is limited to 200 mb. There is no way around this apart from splitting the files. There is no facility to increase this limit and Apple Music does not use iCloud storage. Spotify does not work the same as the icloud music library.

Then why not just use Spotify? (just asking)

The limit is either 2 hours in length or 200 MB. You may also be violating the 4th bullet's "don't meet certain quality criteria" requirement. Have you tried a compliant version to see if that will upload?

Certainly...
