or…just use Plex, or Subsonic and stream it from your own computer for FREE. Yeah, you could pay for the upgrade in bit rate….

I’m in Korea with a Korean iPhone as well. I signed up this morning and have it running through my iPhone no problem.
My account/setup appears to be identical to yours. However, i noticed that my phone didn’t respond right away when i turned on music match this morning.

About 2 hours ago however, I noticed my library was responding to the music match service.

It’s not working on my iPhone… is it because I have a korean iPhone? I have a US iTunes/apple account, but I’m stationed over here.

1. http://www.tonidoplug.com/ Serve your own “cloud” for about $130 shipped.

2. Thankfully the iTunes Match link goes away when you click it and choose “No thanks”.

What I find most useful about iTunes Match is that I have a large music collection, and I use 2 desktops/1 Laptop and an iPod on occasion.

I buy almost nothing from the store, and rip all my own CDs into iTunes.

My music is too large to fit onto any iPod (except for the hard-drive based classics), but if I want to listen to something I don’t have, it is easy to download that specific thing and listen to it right now rather than going back to sync to the desktop. If that desktop didn’t have it, since you can’t sync music from multiple desktops, meant you had to move the audio files over manually from desktop to desktop, and then finally sync.

This lets me at my content any time I wish.

If you only buy from the store, it probably isn’t very useful, especially with them now letting you re-download any content you’ve bought again easily.

I’m not sure if it is my weird tastes, or the fact that I ripped it my self, but I see less than 10% of my music being “matched”, and instead more of it is my content uploaded. Thankfully I have fast big upload pipes.

So… basically they stream down to me, chewing up my bandwidth and battery, but it’s ok because I get more storage space for 30 bucks a year?

Would like to see the number of how many people in the US subscribe to it, since I don’t really see a need for it other than pad Apples bottom line.
