Is there any way to get around Apple Music's matching system?

I use local files for versions of songs that are not on streaming but sometimes apple music will sync them with the version that was released. When it does it usually says "matched" in the properties of that file

Is there anything I can do to get around this to stop it syncing them with the version on streaming?

iTunes Match "matching" wrong songs I have had my iTunes/Apple Music library for at least 20 years, which is my music collection, and I also have Match. One issue I have had is that I have live versions of a song and it sometimes matches with the original studio version, and plays the live. I don't want this. Any suggestions on how to correct the wrong "match"?

Dolby Atmos version of previously downloaded tracks (iTunes Match) I have been using iTunes match since release and my library has an array of songs that have come from CDs, purchases etc. Recently I started subscribing to Apple Music. What I want to know is whether there is a way to get an Apple Music version (including Atmos) of a track that has matched before using iTunes Match but there is an Atmos version on Apple Music. I have tried deleting download and re-downloading but doesnt appear to get Atmos version as the icon isnt showing on the playing screen. Is there any other way to 'refresh' tracks rather than adding a duplicate Apple Music version? I tried sharing playlist with myself as I know that forces Apple Music version for other people but that didnt work eiter.
