Jim Dalrymple with good news for Apple Music users:
Apple has been quietly rolling out iTunes Match audio fingerprint to all Apple Music subscribers. Previously Apple was using a less accurate metadata version of iTunes Match on Apple Music, which wouldn’t always match the correct version of a particular song. We’ve all seen the stories of a live version of a song being replaced by a studio version, etc.
Using iTunes Match with audio fingerprint, those problems should be a thing of the past.
In addition to this, iTunes Match is now part of Apple Music. Pay for the latter and you get the former for free.
I’d love to hear why Apple didn’t do this when Apple Music first rolled out. Hopefully the days of people having their metadata nuked from on high are behind us.
