Hi Karen, The easy answer is, "Sort of". Apple Music is far from perfect. As far as I can tell, it does a comparison of the title, the artist, the time and some digital comparisons to match things. The digital comparisons are to ensure that the song is actually what you say it is. We

Hi, Regarding whether iTunes recognizes a CD or not, usually does not have anything to do with the seller of the CD. If the seller in question created their own, non-sanctioned, version of the artist's album, then you may have a point. If all they did is burn cheap copies of it and passed
