Hi, Just to add to this, let me copy exactly what Apple says about streaming and downloading in regards to iTunes match. I would also like to point out, Apple is really good about updating their knowledge bases so, I’m surprised if this has changed like David and Cara says, that it hasn’t been reflected in Apples documentation 2 months after IOS 7 has been released. But here’s the info.
"Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?” "On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.” hth Ricardo Walker [email protected] Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Nov 21, 2013, at 11:11 PM, Ricardo Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Yes.
