iTunes Match cutting off songs

Switched to iTunes match and now a very large portion of my songs that I download from the cloud are cut off or randomly spiced with other songs. These are all "matched" songs not ones that needed to be uploaded..

I'm having the same problem. It's very irritating ... Anyone have any solutions? ~:)

I am having the same issue. Although I do not have "match". Every song in my iTunes library that is 4 minutes of length or longer is 50/50 on no playing to the end. Grrrrrrrrr. The only solution I have found is deleting the song and then resurrecting it from the trash bin. iTunes dropping the ball on this one.

I'm getting the same problem. I delete the song and re-download it from the cloud. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Ah... I figured out the fix... because I'm not just pretty. Instead of hitting the download button, tap the song so it will start streaming. It will still download, but it won't cut off the end of the songs and everything that was happening. However, if you already have cut-off songs downloaded on the iOS device, it will still play them all f*cked up. You need to delete all downloaded songs and start them fresh again. I hope this helps 'ya!

Tons of people are having this issue, myself included. I have been to the Apple Genius bar 14 times since October & since iCloud launched. I am really surprised, because this is not typical of Apple. And the customer service has gotten so bad. I can't get an email from someone who actually understands English fluently, so many many things get misunderstood by the lovely Apple employee who is assigned to my case # (in India). Yuk.
