Another iTunes Match Reset Scheduled for Tomorrow, Public Launch Draws Near

Apple is issuing another reset of iTunes Match for tomorrow, October 27th. The wipe applies to developers that have been beta testing the service for the last couple of months.

Beta testers are asked to disable iTunes Match on their iOS devices and computers for the reset tomorrow. All saved libraries will be erased. Apple is expected to launch iTunes Match to the public very soon.

Apple promised an iTunes Match public launch "by the end of October" at its last media event, and we're approaching the last weekend of October.

A toggle for iTunes Match also appeared publicly in iOS 5 recently, but regular users are still unable to sign up for the service. Apple currently has a page for iTunes Match in iTunes that says "Coming Soon."

iTunes Match is a $25 per year subscription service that scans a user's library and offers those tracks in the iCloud for streaming and multiple downloads on any authenticated device.

This isn't the first time that Apple has reset iTunes Match, and this activity suggests that a public release is drawing near. Expect iTunes Match to go live this weekend or by Monday at the latest.
