According to the latest report, more and more overseas users have recently revealed that Apple’s iTunes Match service has failed and cannot be used normally. The service was released in 2011 and allows users to upload local music files to match the high-quality versions in the iTunes music library, thereby achieving sound quality upgrades. After the matching is completed, the music can be listened to on all devices.
Recently, many users reported in the Apple community and Reddit forums that local music could not be uploaded using this service, and the software interface had repeated looping or freezing problems. A user said that all music files can be downloaded in the cloud, but if you upload music, there will be no response. The malfunction seems to have lasted for as long as a week.
Some users have found that when the process of uploading music starts, the software will prompt Matching your music with the music in the iTunes Store, but this operation is not actually implemented. Many overseas users have contacted Apple, but Apple has not given any feedback so far.
According to MacRumors, some users were told by Apple that there was a hardware problem. The iTunes Match service is currently part of the Apple Music subscription service, and members can use it for free. At the same time, users can also purchase it separately at a price of US$24.99 per year.
