![]() ![]() This should show you all the ones you upgraded and downloaded.ġ. The third smart playlist just helps you confirm you got them back: But iTunes only matched around 7500+ files out of 45,000+ tracks that I whittled down to around 14,000 files less than 256k. I upgraded a few of my more obscure tracks/albums that showed as matches by hand and compared, and didn't find any mismatched files thus far. Yay!īefore you start downloading make sure you have plenty of drive space, a little over 7000 tracks of 256kbps AAC files took up just under 80GB in my case. Highlight them all and then right click and hit download and it will queue them all up to be downloaded to your local machine. Now this will display all the files from the previous smart list that you deleted but left in the cloud. To make the download process easier, make Two MORE Smart Playlists:ġ. You will still have this in your library, but now it will play from iCloud, or you can highlight the track and right click and DOWNLOAD it and it will replace the old one you deleted, with a nice new 256kbps AAC encoded file from Apple. ![]() MAKE SURE that checkbox is not checked and go ahead and hit DELETE ITEM. ![]() There is a checkbox for "Also delete this item from iCloud" The dialog that comes up asks you to confirm that "Are you sure you want to delete the selected item from your iTunes Library?" This item will also be deleted from any iPod, iPhone or iPad which synchronizes with your iTunes Library. Now, you can do the next track or album or all at once, but select tracks from this list and hit Option-Delete: Once this smart playlist is made, you will see all the tracks that have been matched and are less than 256kbps have been matched and have corresponding 256kbps versions in the cloud you can grab. Once its done, make a new Smart Playlist (I made a folder for all my Smart iTunes Match Related Playlists) First let iTunes Match do its things and find all possible matches in your library and finish uploading any non-matching tracks.Ģ.
