iTunes game duplicates (after re-download songs without DRM)

Hello

I recently signed up for iTunes game to upgrade all the pieces purchased between 2003 and 2009, which were laced with DRM (digital rights) and unplayable on my SONOS system. After the Match has completed its process, I found that a lot of songs have been duplicated in my iTunes library, see the attachment.

I read on this Forum that the answer is simple: simply remove the redundant tracks, which I am ok to do (even if it's a lot of work...). But my question is: WHICH of the 2 I should delete the iTunes library? Those with the little cloud + Basel icon (kind = "purchased AAC audio file"), or those without the icon ('audio file AAC matched')?

This is iTunes on an iMac with OS X Yosemite.

Thank you in advance for your help!

It is unusual that iTunes could correspond to files that have been purchased through iTunes. Most of the time all your purchased tracks should have already been available for download on high without DRM sampling rate and should not count toward the limit of your correspondence. The only ones who * would * match would be albums that have been deleted after having bought and added later, iTunes library may be an another aggregator or etiquette or reissue.

Files without the icon are real which exist in your library. Those with the icon cloud is in the cloud. I guess what's happened here is that you have the original version of cloud when you bought the files and now you have matched the actual downloads therefore to new versions of the albums in the cloud. If the bit rate is the same (not precise in your screenshot above), then I would like to delete the corresponding versions because I would not count towards the limit of my game files that are already offered to me to my iTunes purchase history. This is just one example where iTunes has replaced the versions of these files that you have purchased with other versions on the store.

  • Cancellation of Apple's music has grayed out some songs from iTunes game

    Background:

    • I use iTunes game.
    • All the songs in my library have been downloaded by me.
    • I tried Apple's music for a while and then cancelled.

    Question:

    • Some of the songs that I downloaded in my subscription of Apple's music are now gray out and unable to be played.
    • On the iPhone (and previously on my Mac) I wonder to renew my subscription to Apple's music when I try to read them.
    • It seems that iTunes thinks that these are songs from Apple's music, when they certainly are iTunes songs Match (most of the songs is not yet on Apple music).

    Attempted fixes:

    • I tried all kinds of re - authorize etc and nothing works.
    • I talked at length to Apple on the phone who now asked me to install OS X (which I'm hated to do that I don't see it being a problem of BONE).

    How can I return these songs? Is this a known bug?

    Okay, that was user error. The songs were incorrectly uploaded from another computer!

  • iTunes game question... If I downloaded versions of upgrade no DRM from songs matched on my hard drive and then cancel iTunes game, I'll still be able to play the upgraded version of the downloaded files then?

    Hello

    I signed up for iTunes game several weeks ago mainly to unprotected quality 256 kbps versions of songs that I bought before 2008 (when iTunes send 256 Kbps files instead of 128 Kbps of lower quality files).  When I did, about half of these old songs I had bought are accompanied by a status of 'Bought' iCloud and the rest were listed with a status of "Matched".  I was puzzled by this because it seemed to me that thought iTunes doesn't recognize no I bought have these songs.

    Finally, I have determined that the reason iTunes game didn't recognize them as bought because these 'Matched' files were bought during my AppleID had a different e-mail that are associated with account.  It's the same AppleID account, but another email.  I also found that I could still upgrade files Matched from 128 Kbps to 256 Kbps.  I also have available files of the song offline upgrade, which of course them on my hard drive.

    Because I signed up to get the files updated level, I will finally be cancelling the iTunes account Match.  Now, as many of these songs are listed as matched and not purchased, I wonder what will happen when I cancel iTunes game.  Still, I'll be able to play the downloaded files, sync with my iPhone, etc. after that game is cancelled?  In addition, there are a few songs that were purchased in the framework AppleID to my wife that currently are as well matched, and I am allowed to read files purchased with his account. I want to upgrade these files and download them as well.  When I canceled the game, will I still be able to play the improved version of his songs?

    Thanks for any information you can provide. :-)

    Hello

    Once you have downloaded the upgraded pieces, you will keep them. PS Keep another upward.

    Purchased in General securities are purchased but some will come, probably because an upgrade of the original is not possible for example that the version of the album is no longer available.

    The purchased prevoiuly of the corresponding securities does not appear under previous purchases. Also, be aware that if you need to redownload past purchases, you get the original version of the DRM 128 no upgrade.

  • If I subscribe to iTunes game with duplicates in my library, will I have duplicates in my iCloud library?

    If I subscribe to iTunes game with duplicates in my itunes music library, will I have duplicates in my iCloud library?

    Hello

    ITunes game scans your library to determine what is coupled, downloaded, purchased in double or ineligible. It will not automatically de-dup your library, but if you have the same song twice in the same album, the second song will probably have a status Icloud "duplicate". However, same song on different albums could be mapped or downloaded.

  • Download from itunes game problems

    iTunes game is of no use to me. I have only had it hoping that it would save everything before that my hard drive has been replaced, but no luck so I didn't renew. I downloaded all the music to my mac and my iphone, however, do not renew the service, music that had certainly been downloaded on my phone (indicated by the phone with a checkmark icon) return soley on the cloud that I have to pay $25 for. Someone else has experienced this problem or know of a way around having to spend more money to get my music? (Apple keeps the history of purchases for more than 4 years, so more that 3/4 of my library cannot be simply re-uploaded. I contacted apple several times on the recovery of past history of purchase and that the only response that actually my question that I thought they could try to search for individual songs of each order number, which I had no idea that I had to keep for thousands of purchases).

    If the media is always on your iPhone, see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device. Have you changed your Apple account information. I have purchases dating back to 2007.

    4th generation Apple TV installed with 64 GB of storage. mid 2007 iMac and iPad 2 with current iOS. Just not very familiar with the interrelationships between the different devices and applications.

    No, my music using Apple music or iTunes game. You should be able to access your media purchased on the device without using the playlists, or playlists on your Mac when iTunes is running via the use of computers on the Apple TV.

  • Is there an easy way to delete the original files replicated by iTunes game downloads?

    I have a library of great music stored on my Mac. When I subscribed to iTunes game, most of my songs appear in iTunes with the icon 'cloud' indicating that I was able to download the track, even if the files were stored locally in my iTunes music library.

    For various reasons, I wanted iTunes to recognize the local mapping to all my music files, so I selected my entire music library in iTunes, right click and choose 'download '. Now, it seems that all the files are uploaded to iTunes as a high quality files, which is great, but if I look in the folder for each album in my iTunes music library, I see now two copies of each song - the original file and the new higher quality file.

    In iTunes, I see only an entry for each track, so it's good, but the additional files are eating plenty of disk space unnecessarily. I don't want to go into every single album folder and delete old files to original, so I hope there is an easier way to remove.

  • ITunes game will not download

    I'm on an Air of Ipad with 3 GB of free space and itunes game account. I know how to download music as I did it not. I am 100% online that I can browse tweet and send this message... the cloud with the down arrow appears next to my albums. I clicked and nothing happens. Even on home, office and public networks? Setting of cloud music lit. Even with any album that I try in my collection of cloud, none are purchased from Apple, all my downloaded CD.

    It's on the iPad, correct?  I ask because this forum category is iTunes for Mac, so I'm confirming that you use music on the iPad...

    When I use my iPod touch in the app music , I go to my music.  When I press on the symbol of the cloud with the arrow pointing down , the song (or album) is downloaded.  Nothing really happens on the screen.  When you play a downloaded song, he plays with the copy on the device, do not broadcast from iCloud.  That's the only difference.  You should also notice that the symbol of the cloud with the arrow pointing down is not longer there (for a downloaded item).

  • Securities is no longer play in my music (using iTunes game, wifi...), has done before, can download and then play, but not stream - all, it was fine before!  Help!

    I hope that someone has had a similar problem and a solution!  I tried resetting the phone (5s, latest ios etc...) to factor settings, setting back via iCloud backup, reset connections network again, you name it!  Basically, I play all my music (which was more often downloaded from my PC at home using iTunes game, as I already had a vast collection of CDs before buying my first phone) via a wifi connection and have had zero problems (using various home wifi connections) and besides... until a week ago.  Today, only some beaches (and incredibly, they can vary from day to day...) on some albums (in general, not an entire album, either...) won't play - he simply "jump through" them.  However, I can upload them on my phone (on the same wifi connection, you mind) and they will play very well!  Obviously, however, I don't want to (can't - much too) to download all my songs to play!  Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

    Make sure that your device is updated... Sometimes new songs are not compatible with the old software.
