Does it touch my original files in any way? I have a huge selection of rare and obscure music not available via iTunes or any streaming service. Obviously I don't want any service to touch, modify or replace these or any of my more popular release. I'm wary about auto matching. Should I be?

- auduchinok 7y agoApple Music without iTunes Match will upload it to iCloud and will make it available on your other devices. IIRC it'll convert it to 256 kbps AAC
- ValentineC 7y agoLossless files are stored as 256kbps AAC in their cloud. I believe lossy MP3s and AACs are uploaded as-is. (I'm glad that Apple is aware that transcoding is generally a bad thing.) iTunes also doesn't upload files that don't have a minimum bitrate of 96kbps [1].
