Adding [Dirty] to the track name seemed to sort it for me.

If only the upload setting would default to match your safe search settings… at least this would solve 90% of the problems… (if you specifically opt out of safe search, every album uploaded would match the explicit version; if specifically opted in to safe search, the clean album would be selected)

BOOM

The commenter you featured in this article is an idiot. Google Match doesn’t touch the music you have on your computer, so it’s not trashing anything. I don’t see why people are getting so upset over something that’s obviously a bug, and if you didn’t already have the song in google music you aren’t losing anything. Just another example of how entitled so many people are.

“If you’re a fan of Limp Bizkit, you’re screwed.”
This statement is true regardless of using match or not; it’s a life statement.

I’d like a little check box asking if I want the explicit versions of songs. I didn’t upload my songs with this, but I was going to for the higher bitrate…I’ve kinda changed my mind now.

I sincerely hope that there’s a solution for folks who are upset over this. In my unique case, this is actually a good thing. I have a bunch of music that I haven’t been able to listen to in the car since having a child. I have always meant to go back and get the “clean” or “radio edit” versions of those song. This will save me the trouble. Of course, I won’t completely trust that it’s swapped out explicit versions for clean ones, because only about 25% of my music has been matched successfully, like albums where only half the songs were matched and the other half uploaded.

For all the no censoring of the internet Google is for, this seems kind of backwords.

I use that, but Google still chooses to Match your music rather than actually upload your files and you have absolutely no control over which songs are matched and which It all depends on how good the ID3 tags are and if they can be clearly paired with music available on the Play Store. This has it’s pros and cons.

Pros: Save time and bandwidth.

Cons: Explicit/Clean/wrong match issue and quality is not as good sometimes.

” If you’re a fan of Limp Bizkit, you’re screwed”

Now that’s an understatement, but what does it really have to do with the post LOL
