AM Matches incorrect songs - force Upload Workaround


so far apple music , streaming there albums not available. have several favorite albums/artists add itunes find apple music making mess of things them.

won't fix real large libraries , intended add occasional album.


specific example:

kingdom come, kingdom come (self-titled album).

though album doesn't exist in apple music, when add album itunes, finds matches several songs , uploads rest. issue songs not correct album versions , instead remixes or strange versions never heard of, , contain respective album art entire albums inconsistent.

workaround now:

delete songs apple music.

on windows pc take original mp3 files , edit id3 tags using program mp3tag (can run in wine on osx ), adding suffix of (u) other suffixes work thinking u stand uploaded.

here example:
filename: 01 - living out of touch.mp3
old title: living out of touch
new title: living out of touch (u)


drag album/songs itunes , fail match (doesn't suffix ) , upload them instead. can see tracks uploaded instead of apple music.

note: in itunes, if change file name , remove suffix attempt re-match tracks after update icloud music library - undo have done.

works me now... wish apple allow selectively upload files without them trying match, or @ least fix match matches album version of song.
