However, it will not upload the original files, but the music library in iTunes automatically with iTunes in DRM-free songs purchased at a bit rate of 256 kbits per second replaced. That means: If music from sources other than from a music download shop, that is, for example, CD ripping, or not so legitimate sources, possess, they will be converted automatically into all purchased songs. The source files must but at least have a bit rate of 128 kbits per second. ITunes match we also allowed to download the converted files.
If the service to Germany?
The service sounds attractive. Unfortunately this feature is not yet available in Germany. Currently, Apple still leads to discussions with the music industry and of course the local collecting society GEMA. It may therefore be some time until the service is available here. The same phenomenon is observed even at the Norwegian music service Spotify and YouTube.
