Apple's SVP of Internet Software and Services, Eddie Cue, promised back in June to adjust the cap on iCloud Music Library before the end of the year. And now the Cupertino company have delivered just in time for Christmas, upping the maximum limit to a whopping 100,000 tracks.
The previous limit on storing your tunes in the cloud was 25,000, so this is a significant boost for users of Apple Music and iTunes Match, both of which use the iCloud Music Library.
iTunes Match works by scanning your iTunes music collection and enabling you to play and/or download any songs already held on its servers to any of your devices. The service currently costs £24.99 in the UK.
Apple Music costs £9.99 per month, or £14.99 per month for those who opt for the family plan. The service works in similar fashion to iTunes Match, but its tracks include DRM, so any downloaded tracks will cease to function if you cancel your monthly subscription.
The previous 25,000-track limit of Apple's services didn't fair too well against similar services offered by Google, Amazon and Microsoft. But with the increased storage, the iCloud Music Library is once again competitive.
