No, if you stop paying iTunes Match there is no cloud storage and no syncing
- snowwrestler 12y agoBut the synced files are still on your computer and phone.
- Oletros 12y agoEvidently, they were in your computer from the start. But if you delete the local copies, you lose them [Funny, a right fact gets downvoted]
- Someone1234 12y agoNot really... iCloud grants you 5 GB of "free" storage, including music. iTunes Match just grants you free additional storage for the matched music. If you download the iTunes Match music then cancel, iCloud will sync the music on your devices using up some of your 5 GB pool. So as long as you don't exceed 5 GB for your non-iTunes music collection (after they have been iTunes Match upgraded to 256 kbps) you're golden. That's how it currently works for me. Half of my music collection is on the iTunes Store, the other half is in iCloud.
- Oletros 12y agoBut that pool is not part of iTunes Match, it is part of iCloud syncing.
