Apple bumps Apple Music upload limit to 100000 tracks

Google Play Music now has a 50,000 track limit, while iTunes Match is apparently slowly upgrading their users to a 100,00 track limit.

When iOS 9 was released back in September, Apple said that they would increase the limit of supported tracks to 100,000, although this has only just been rolled out over the last few days. Matching songs gives another option for people who can not afford the more expensive 64 GB and 128 GB iPhone models by offloading local music storage to the cloud. Let us know in the comments if you’ve been able to surpass 25,000 tracks with iTunes Match or iCloud Music Library. Officially, the track limit for iTunes Match and iCloud Music Library is still set at 25,000 tracks. On the other hand, some users are claiming that they still can’t see their extended limit on the iTunes Match libraries. Both services offer the same match/upload music locker feature, with Apple Music building on top of that a full streaming subscription service for $9.99 a month.

Apple has raised the limit on its iTunes Match and Apple Music libraries, from 25,000 songs to a whopping 100,000 songs, fulfilling a promise made by Eddy Cue, the company’s senior vice president of Internet software and Services. At the time, he had noted that Apple would increase the limit to 100,000 tracks. Recently, Apple even launched Apple Music for Android smartphones.

Despite a confirmation being issued by Eddy Cue, Apple hasn’t update its support page on the web site to reflect that this change has now been made.

This means that Apple has gone from offering half the number of music track uploads of the rival Google Play Music service to double.
