Do I truly have to purchase a subscription to listen to music that I ALREADY purchased? What sense does that make?

Hi,

You don’t have to have an iTunes Match subscription to play your music provided that you have downloaded the music to your computer. If you are trying to stream your music on other devices you will need a subscription.


If you want to play your music on other devices, Read this Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes on your computer - Apple Support
