what's happened in Bryan song here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good of bad inside the world of Apple the big a finally launched the iTunes Match service and google announced their own google music service this week with the ability to share purchase song to the Google+ friends and tools for independent artists to control their music it's an ongoing war between Android and Apple that won't end anytime soon but a recent study from gartner reveals that androids winning in worldwide market share for their OS with close to fifty three percent share for the third quarter of 2011 and Apple at fifteen percent but that's only part of the story because Apple is winning when it comes to the money race bringing in more than half of the industries profits at sixty-five percent and we all know chatham makes a better now both platforms want you to spend more money consume content but is iTunes Match really worth the $25 you put in per year let's check it out hey guys Brian song here with cnet com and we're going to show you a first look at the iTunes Match service that's finally been launched by Apple now to get itunes match first of all you got to download the latest version of itunes and it's a service for 2499 a year and you can turn on iTunes Match by going into the store menu now it will match your own personal music collection with the same tracks on the itunes store and then it'll also upload your remaining songs that can't be matched to the iCloud that allows you to listen to your entire collection anytime on your iOS devices plus you'll also be able to use this service with up to 10 iOS devices and computers total and a maximum of five of those can be computers now once the iTunes Match service completes you'll be able to either stream tracks to your computer by playing them or click on the download cloud icon to store them locally now once they're downloaded the icon goes away and the size of the file changes to represent it's been downloaded locally now if you don't have an internet connection the iTunes Match music that's not been downloaded will be grayed out from your music list and you'll be unable to access it until you have an active internet connection now let's jump over to our iOS devices I have my iphone running the latest iOS 5 and i'll go into my settings then music where i can turn on iTunes Match on my phone then jump into the music app and just like in itunes you'll see your tracks with a cloud icon next to each one now I can select a song and the first play behaves as if it's streaming but once it downloads the entire song it will remain on your phone and the cloud icon will disappear you can also choose to download an entire album instead of selecting it track by track to your iOS devices and the iTunes Match service will also bring over all your playlists so there's your first look at the iTunes Match service it really delivers on giving you access to your entire collection on multiple devices but you'll really have to decide if that's where 2499 piscina com I'm Brian Tom alright i can tell you that after using it for three days my large music collection still hasn't been completely loaded different playlists from different machines all combining into one place that's annoying not all my place we've been sinking it when iTunes matches a track i have with multiple versions of that song from different albums on their store and then throws them all in my library it's a mess so bottom line is really not worth it to me right now and it still needs to be cleaned up some now in iOS news according to german website Macker top Apple's working on two separate software updates they say five point 0 point two should be coming no later than next week and addresses more of the battery bugs that haven't been resolved with apples last five point Oh point one update and iOS 5.1 will feature a significant improvement to Siri with additional commands for taking pictures turning on or off services like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and also accepting my request for a date which reminds me over the past few weeks a lot of little things including the iOS not update have been adding up and its really worthy of throwing out a bad apple you see a couple weeks ago Siri completely goes down no one really mentions it but that's ok because it's still beta even though Apple is touting it at the newest feature and selling point for the iphone 4s then they release the iOS 5 battery update but only after a swarm of users say it has only fix anything then they admit there's still bugs dammit solved like that battery issue and my favorite one here we go guys apple offers a replacement for 1st gen ipod nanos after discovering or really finally admitting the original model had the potential to catch fire five years later now that same model was exploding and setting on fire for years but at least now we know five years later I'm blowing and that's a bad apple bad apple and bad apple and
