The tech-giant Apple has kept its promise and has increased the limit of music upload to 100,000 songs on iTunes Match and Apple Music. This new move will allow Apple users to store more and more songs on the cloud.
This new update by the company has increased the online storage of songs by almost four times. The previous limit available to users was 25,000 tracks.
The new update will allow Apple users to have online music libraries twice the size of the 50,000 tracks that Google Play Music offers, although that service is free.
A user needs to pay Apple either $24.99 a year for iTunes Match, or $9.99 a month for Apple Music to make use of the cloud locker. Apple Music, which was launched this year, is the iPhone maker’s own music streaming service.
iCloud so far has been the least reliable element of Apple Music, often failing to make good on its promise to unify your online and offline libraries. Apple's match/upload music locker feature allows users to pair their songs in the cloud and play them on all of their devices.
By raising the limit of the cloud, Apple has kept the promise made by Eddy Cue, the company's senior vice president of Internet software and Services. Cue earlier this year said that Apple will soon allow its users to have larger storage of music.
Confirming the news to MacRumors, Cue said, “Apple is beginning to roll out support for 100k libraries”.
