Subscribe to iTunes Match: In iTunes on your computer, go to Store > Turn On iTunes Match,
then click the Subscribe button.
Once you subscribe, iTunes adds your music, playlists, and Genius Mixes to iCloud. Your songs
that match music already in the iTunes Store are automatically available in iCloud. Other songs
are uploaded. You can download and play matched songs at up to iTunes Plus quality (256
kbps DRM-free AAC), even if your original was of lower quality. For more information, go to
www.apple.com/icloud/features .

Genius Playlists.
