Last year I loaded iTunes Match to my iMac computer, it never fully loaded all the songs in my library.
My subscription is coming up for renewal in a couple of weeks and I want to know if I should try to reload iTunes Match now or after I renew in order to try and reclaim all the songs it failed to load the first time?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 14.6
Hi,
What do you mean by “reclaim all the songs it failed to load the first time”? Are they not already on your computer?
With iTunes Match, your library is scanned to determine what is matched or needs to be uploaded.The music will remain on your computer unless you opt to remove the music from your computer and keeping them in the cloud. If the music is solely in the cloud, you should re-download them. Did you make a backup of your original library.

Jim, Thanks for your reply.
what I mean is that when I loaded iTunes Match, it took days to work through my library and left many songs not Uploaded but Matched, which will not play on my iPhone.
I was wondering if I could attempt to have Match run the upload again to capture those songs, many from albums where some songs did load and others did not.
In other words those Matched songs will play on my computer but not my iPhone while uploaded songs will.
How do I get the Matched songs to play on my iPhone?
When I try to play those matched songs on my iPhone, I get a message "This song is not currently available in your country or region".
But several songs from the same album are still uploaded, some are not...
Hi,
On your computer, try signing out of your account then sign back in. This will take a short while as the genius file is deleted and library is rescanned. Once finished, try signing out of your account on your phone then sign back in.
