Apple added the new materials on the iTunes Match section, Apple TV

Apple TV is streaming-only, of course. Ranging from an instructional video, to several frequently asked questions (FAQ), the new posts on the official Apple website are aimed at explaining the company's iTunes Match service in details. Apple added the new materials on the iTunes Match section of its website. "Any songs you've upgraded or downloaded again are completely safe.

The new video demonstrates how the $24.99 a year service works by way of a walkthrough showing how to activate the service on iTunes, wait for iTunes Match to match songs, and then turn on the service on an iOS device or an Apple TV. The service can read AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless and other music formats. Up to 10 devices, including computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV, can be synced with iTunes Match. The FAQ also addresses whether iTunes Match will stream music. According to Apple, computers will be able to stream songs stored in iCloud.

iOS devices will begin playing tracks while they download, and the Apple TV will only stream songs. Testing during the beta phase of iTunes Match had appeared to suggest that the service would support streaming to iOS devices, but Apple quickly clarified that songs would need to be downloaded to mobile devices from iCloud. The only thing you lose is the central storage — iCloud will no longer stream or download matched or uploaded songs to your devices," the FAQ read. After a slight delay, iTunes Match launched in the U.S. in November.
