Update Your iTunes Match Library. Cancel Your Subscription. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know! Email Address Sign up There was an error. There are a few confusing responses here, so let's clarify: if you are going to let iTunes Match expire, make sure you have downloaded the music that is in the cloud to your local hard drive first.
Once it is there and you turn off iTunes Match, those items will be left untouched on your computer. You will no longer has access to what was in the cloud. One of the great benefits to iTunes Match is that you have the opportunity to have all of your music converted to the higher bitrate of kbps. Whatever is matched in the cloud is available to re-download at this bitrate. It does not automatically do this to your library and only matched songs that iTunes Match has from the iTunes Store are available at this bitrate.
I have found it is easiest to go into Album view in iTunes select an album you know is in a lower bitrate and delete it from your local hard drive.
The cloud icon will appear below that album cover now. Re-download at the higher bitrate by clicking on that icon. There are a couple of prompts when you delete locally, do not check the box that asks you if you also want to delete it from the cloud for obvious reasons.
My iTunes match subscription expired last week. I think the only option is to find the music affected is to reload the CD's once again. Added to this, all of my ratings, done over many years, have been deleted. My itunes match expired today. And all my songs completely dissapeared, even the ones downloaded to my hard drive.

Subscribe to iTunes Match iTunes Match gives you access to all of your music on all of your devices, even songs that you've imported from other sources such as CDs.
On your PC, open iTunes for Windows. On your Mac, go to the sidebar and click iTunes Store. Don't see the iTunes Store on your Mac? On your PC, click Store at the top of the iTunes window. Another perk: For the songs available in the iTunes store, it would play the highest quality of that track available. When you first signed up for iTunes Match, Apple either matched or uploaded songs from your original iTunes library to a server.
That original library is located in iTunes, on the computer you had when you signed up for iTunes Match. It is !
