Apple has surreptitiously increased the song limit that we can go up to iTunes Match and our ICloud Library. The limit that had been until now was 25.000 songs, a limit that had been in effect since the launch of iTunes Match 4 years ago, in 2011. Apparently, there have already been several users who have managed to upload more than the known limit of 25.000 songs own to your iTunes Match or your iCloud Library. The songs that we have bought from the iTunes Store do not count towards this limit.
Increasing this limit was something that Apple had already promised in June. He did so through Eddy Cue, who confirmed that the Cupertino-based company planned to upload the number of songs we could upload to its cloud music services, and it did so when Apple Music launched. Cue said they would raise the limit 25.000 to 100.000 songs when iOS 9 was released, but iOS 9 arrived in September and the cap had remained at 25.000 songs to this day.
However, it is not yet known whether the increase is official for everyone or they are testing the new limit with a few users. There has been no statement and on the official iTunes Match page it still says that only 25.000 songs can be uploaded. If they do not update the support pages soon, we can think that the increase will be gradual and they will only update them when the increase is available to all users.
iTunes Match is a service that is available for € 24,99 per year And that is included in the Apple Music subscription at no additional cost. The increase from 25.000 to 100.000 songs could be a response to the Google Play Music service, a service that allows you to upload 500.000 songs, although in the case of the search engine service we can upload this number of songs totally free. It is clear that with this type of competition we all win.
According to your post itunes match it is included in apple music but that is not entirely correct and it exokes it on the apple page if you have only apple music the songs that you upload to the cloud and download original on another device will be protected by DRM is Say you can not use them in other applications such as DJ2 if you want to have all the songs without this restriction I understood that you should have the 2 services but it could be said that itunes match is included in apple music but in any case partially.
