Apple iTunes Music Store Sells Over One Million Songs (Photo : Getty Images)
Apple Music is hiking the number of songs of users to 100,000 for its iTunes Match. When Apple started the service in June, the maximum allowed was 25,000 songs.
Apple Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue confirmed the increase in limit to MacRumors. He says the change would be slowly rolled out to all users of the service. He had actually tweeted the upward adjustment in June.
However, because Apple has not yet updated its support page, the limit is still listed as 25,000.
With the increase, Apple Music users could upload their offline collection of songs to their libraries. Songs could also be downloaded on any Apply devices using iCloud storage.
Mac Observer points out that iTune users were annoyed by the 25,000-song limit because instead of enjoying access to all their favorite songs from any gadget, they had to upload a subset of their song collection.
Since the service counted all tracks not bought from the iTunes Store, such as CD rips and Apple Music downloads, the number of songs were included in the user's total, making the old 25,000 limit a real bummer for music buffs, notes PC Mag.
Since its June 30 debut, the $9.99 monthly service of Apple Music has now more than 6.5 million paying customers as of October 2015. With the service launch of a beta version for Android in November, the numbers likely further went up.
