Apple seems to have quietly increased the 25,000 songs limit for iTunes Match and iCloud Music Library, reports blogger Kirk McElhearn.
McElhearn reports that several users have been able to upload more than 25,000 songs to their iTunes Match and iCloud Music Library.
The limit has been 25,000 tracks ever since iTunes Match launched in 2011. Songs purchased from the iTunes Store don’t count against this limit.
Back in June, Eddy Cue had confirmed that the company planned to increase the 25,000 song limit with the launch of Apple Music. Cue had said that Apple was working to increase the limit to 100,000 songs for iOS 9, but the limit wasn’t increased when the iOS software update was released in September.
It is not clear if the limit has been increased to 100,000 songs as Apple is yet to update the support page. It still says “you can have up to 25,000 songs in your music library.”
The 100,000 song limit will allow Apple Music to surpass Google Play Music, which lets users upload 50,000 songs. However, Google’s upload service is free — you don’t need a Play Music subscription — while iTunes Match has been priced at $24.99 a year.
If you’ve managed to upload more than 25,000 songs in your iTunes Match and iCloud Music Library, then let us know in the comments.
