How do I download songs from iTunes Match successfully?

This is an iTunes Match question.

Few of the somgs are apple purchases

Most are CD copies to share with other devices.


Have ignored iTunes Match for a while

want to get library in shape.


Noticed some albums are 90% loaded and can be downloaded

but sporadically I get one or two tracks that are uploaded

but cannot be downloaded.


when you look at file info the File: location says iCloud and not the location on the computer.

deleting and reloading seems to work but not cleanly

still waiting on some "fixes" to show

Original Title: A few songs are uploaded but cannot be downloaded

Worked better yesterday

not so herky jerky on server response


started working better after my post here

go figure 🙄


but this is the first time I could get on here

since yesterday afternoon …


copied iTunes records

and pasted them into Numbers spreadsheet


have 104 albums to fix maybe 200 tracks

small % big pain


I'm guessing nobody knows how I created

Download cloud - updated status - no file path - download no work

in the first place
