iTunes Match
iTunes Match stores your music library in iCloud—even songs imported from CDs—and lets you
enjoy your collection on iPad and other iOS devices and computers. iTunes Match is available as
a paid subscription.
Note: iTune Match is available starting in the U.S.
Subscribe to iTunes Match: In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match,
then click the Subscribe button.
Once you subscribe, iTunes adds your music and playlists to your iCloud library. Any of your
songs that match with music already in the iTunes Store are automatically available in your
iCloud library. Any remaining songs are uploaded. You can download and play matched songs at
iTunes Plus quality (256 kbps DRM-free AAC), even if your original was of lower quality. For more
information, see www.apple.com/icloud/features/.

Any songs already on iPad will be removed once you turn on iTunes Match.
