But something happened a couple of weeks later (and I'm still not exactly sure what) and all of a sudden my library reset itself back to the state it was when I first signed up to Match on 16 December - playcounts, ratings, playlist entries and other metadata was reset, reduced or scrapped entirely. Arguably this has more "genius" than the iTunes feature of the same name. And if you have any crummy old MP3s, iTunes will upgrade them to the versions it sells in the iTunes Store - no extra charge, no DRM. If you lose your computer or just start using another one, you can bring your whole library with you, playlists and metadata included. For 20 quid a year you can create a backup of your iTunes library in the cloud, including all of its music, playlists and metadata. In its working form, iTunes Match is a godsend. But then the train came off the rails and I was sent hurtling head-first into a pit of broken metadata, lost playlists and the twisted remains of a butchered music library. My relationship with iTunes Match has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride - at first I was largely gleeful with excitement from the pelvis upwards.
