iTunes Match is Launching Soon!

The iTunes Match was originally to-be-launched alongside iOS 5 but was pushed to the "end of October".

The iTunes Match was originally to-be-launched alongside iOS 5 but was pushed to the “end of October”. This service is still being tested by developers but they’re quietly preparing for its public launch.

I mentioned on my past blog post , that iCloud will place all of your music whether its downloaded from another source other than iTunes or ripped from CDs and will match it and upgrade it to the songs that are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to your iCloud library for you to listen to anytime, on any Macs or iOS device. With 18 million songs in the iTunes store, iTunes will match your songs into the iCloud. If iTunes isn’t able to match songs, those are the only songs that you will need to upload to the Cloud yourself. All the music iTunes matches will play at plus quality, even if you original copy of the music was of lower quality. This feature is a subscription of only $24.99 a year!

Apple has sent an email out to developers informing them that iTunes Match music libraries iniCloud will once again be wiped on Thursday, October 27th. Apple instructs developers to turn off iTunes Match on their computers and iOS devices during that time. The wipe may be in preparation for the public launch of iTunes Match.
