Hi, When in iTunes, in the pane for your iPod Touch, did you select the Music tab then uncheck the box for syncing music? After you’ve done that, apply your changes. Yes, then you could unplug your iPod, although I’m not sure that will make a huge difference. Before turning iTunes Match back on, check in your Music app on the iPod to see if the music went away.
