Hi Neil, Let me clarify a few things first. It simply replaces the iTunes Library database so that it reflects the iTunes Library that you've synced to the iTunes Match service from your computer. So, you'll see the "iCloud Download" button beside items that were originally on your iPhone as well as ones you've listened to that your iPhone downloaded.
The deleting process I've found to be awkward as it works sometimes and sometimes you have to try it numerous times. The key though is to make sure that the song you wish to remove does not have the play focus. that is, when VO reads the title of the song along with the artist and such, it will say "playing" if it is the play targeted song. Simply double-tap another song then pause it so that you can act on the one you wish to delete. To delete it: • Double-tap and hold until you hear the blip blip sound then lift your finger. • Double-tap and hold again until the blip blip sound then swipe right or left. I usually swipe right but it seems to work either way. • swipe right again and a "Confirm Deletion" button will be there if it worked. • Double-tap on the "confirm Deletion" button and the song will be removed from your iPhone. This process works but sometimes I had to do things five or six times before it did what it was supposed to. I didn't find a consistent pattern although going to the top or bottom of the list seemed to do something one time. Other times it didn't right away. If you or someone else figures out the exact thing to make it work every time, let me know. Have a good one. Later... 1. the iTunes Match service does not actually remove the songs that you have on your iPhone when it is first set up.
