You know how you can rip all of the music you have on CDs, subscribe to iTunes Match, and it will download higher quality versions of the songs and store them in the cloud?
1. Is that still true?
2. Let’s say I did that years ago. How come, as an iTunes Match subscriber, I don’t see that music in my library?
I have more or less the same question. Some of the things I ripped that way are in my library, but I don’t think all is.
@jpgoldberg @sillygwailo I’ve been using that since it came out and love it, but I’d swear I’ve lost some tracks too. Not enough that I can be certain. It’s one reason why I still keep a big folder on a local Plex drive.
It also does NOT appear to be shared through family sharing — you need to be logged “into iTunes” using the same account that pays for Match. I’d been hoping I could move the family to using their own AppleIDs with Apple One (or whatever it’s called) for individualized playlists, but then they lost all our ripped CDs, so that’s a non-starter. (OTOH it’s mostly Floyd bootlegs they’d lose so probably nobody cares but me…)
