> Check iCloud Music Library upload status

-

When you connect iTunes to iCloud Music Library, tracks that aren’t available in Apple’s huge catalog are uploaded to your online library. Fortunatel­y this doesn’t use up any of the storage quota for your iCloud account.

iTunes downsample­s files that are above a certain quality into 256Kbps AAC files, yet the highqualit­y original on your Mac is left untouched. Tracks are ineligible for upload if they’re too long, their file size is too large, or they’re encoded at too low quality. Apple describes the conditions at apple.co/2tqmbHk.

To find out if any of your tracks have failed to upload, choose File > New > Smart Playlist. Set the playlist’s rules to match the iCloud Status of tracks to any of “Ineligible,” “Error,” or “Not Uploaded.”
