iTunes Match maybe coming to Japan soon

The iTunes Match beta was initially opened last month, but closed due to new registrations within a few hours after the initial quota of developers was reached.

Yesterday, it was discovered that the developer beta of iTunes Match showed options for both steaming and downloading content from the cloud to a user’s device.

Earlier today, Apple released a new iTunes 6.1 beta with iTunes match to developers. iTunes Match is a new service that allows users to pay for an annual subscription that will make their entire existing music collection (including songs not purchased through iTunes) available from Apple’s cloud servers as well.

Today, Apple has released iTunes 6.1 beta to developers. iTunes 6.1 beta is the first release to support the “scan and match” cloud access feature that Apple first announced at this year’s Worldwide Developer Conference.
