To subscribe to iTunes Match, you need iTunes 10.5.2 or later on your Mac or PC. Get the latest version of iTunes.

iTunes Match availability varies by country or region. Learn more about what's available in your country. iCloud Music Library is not a back up service, so make sure to always have a back up of your music collection before you make any changes.

Subscribe to iTunes Match

  1. Open iTunes on a Mac or PC. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.
  2. At the top of the iTunes window, click Store.
  3. Under Music Quick Links at the right side of the window, click iTunes Match.
  4. Click the Subscribe button.
  5. In the "Sign In to subscribe to iTunes Match" dialog that appears, enter the Apple ID and password that you use to make purchases from the iTunes Store.
  6. You might be asked to validate your billing information. After you add a valid payment method, click Subscribe. You can use store credit to pay for your iTunes Match subscription, but you must also have a valid payment method on file.
  7. Agree to the iTunes Match Terms and Conditions. 
  8. iTunes automatically scans your iTunes library for matches. A status indicator lets you track the scan's progress. You can manually pause and resume the scan at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button. If at any time during the matching and uploading process you lose your Internet connection or experience a power outage, iTunes will automatically resume where it left off the next time you open iTunes.

After the process finishes, you'll see a download icon   next to items that are available for download from iCloud. If you don't see the download icon, the item is already in your local iTunes library.

Cancel your iTunes Match subscription

By default, your iTunes Match subscription automatically renews at the end of your one-year subscription. You can view or cancel your subscription to iTunes Match on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV (4th generation).

Use iTunes Match

To access your songs and playlists on other devices, turn on iCloud Music Library on each iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC that you want to access your music collection on.

When you sign in with the Apple ID that you use with iTunes Match on your iOS device or computer, you associate that device with your account and get access to your iCloud Music Library.

It might take some time for iTunes Match to upload your music from iTunes on a Mac or PC to iCloud Music Library. If you don't see your music on another device right away, check back later. When iTunes Match is done, a download icon  appears next to any content that's in your iCloud Music Library and not downloaded to that device.
