iTunes 10.5.1 is out, comes with iTunes Match

The much awaited update to iTunes, 10.5.1 is here. The major feature addition in this version is iMatch. At $24.99 a year, you can upload those CDs that you have ripped in iTunes to the cloud and have access to them from all of your iOS devices. How does it work? This is what Apple says:

iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to iCloud. Since there are more than 20 million songs in the iTunes Store, most of your music is probably already in iCloud. All you have to upload is what iTunes can’t match. Which is much faster than starting from scratch. Once your music is in iCloud, you can stream and store it on any of your devices. Even better, all the music iTunes matches plays back from iCloud at 256-Kbps AAC DRM-free quality — even if your original copy was of lower quality.
