I think so. :-) As I mentioned, it doesn't really matter whether I listen
to my own 256Kbps AAC file or Apple's 256Kbps AAC file. It just annoys me
that songs that should match don't. Oh well.

I backed up my iTunes library before I subscribed to Match, so I can just
drag the misbehaving songs back into iTunes from my backup drive.

Thanks, Bruce, I'll give that a go.
