We have received an anonymous tip that iTunes Match will come out next week on Tuesday October 25th.  While the rest of iCloud launched last week, there were many problems with the system being overloaded.  Apple probably delayed iTunes Match due to the intensive processing they will have to do to build up everyone’s playlists that subscribe once it’s release.  We were also told that likely the service will be rolled out for the US first then other countries in a staggered fashion.

iCloud’s iTune’s Match Feature Missing

Posted on by

iTunes Match iCloud and iOS 5 launched today, but notably iTunes Match was a missing feature.  On October 12th Apple released iTunes 10.5.1 beta which is another test of the iTunes Match feature so it seems there are still problems that need ironing out, or it is possible that this is a final test of the system before they release it publicly.  Considering how slow the servers were today, Apple must have known to possibly delay this feature a few days to allow the iPhone 4S release etc to go through first before committing to a large data flood created by the release of this feature.

Only time will tell.
