Replacing Software Infobox with online music service infobox?

This is what the iTunes page uses, and this article isn't specifically about the app but rather the service as a whole, no? The Template:Infobox online music service has a lot of parameters that are specifically geared towards a music service like this.

Template:Infobox online music service looks pretty good. --Pmsyyz (talk) 01:13, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Matching and uploading

"Users can upload (or have matched) up to 20,000 of their songs" is a false statement. Even if true it would be badly written, as brackets are for asides and not for important parts of the sentence. But it is false. You upload all your tracks. That's the only option you have - upload. Not upload or have matched, just upload. This should be obvious, because how would google ever match a track if it didn't have your file uploaded to compare with its database? So the users who keep on undoing my edit are doing so either because they don't understand this very simple notion, or because they just like reverting.

Also, in automatically create a playlist of "songs that go well together", the "quote" is patronising, implying that a reader might not know what a playlist is supposed to be. It's also biased, suggesting that instant mix will always find "songs that go well together" when in fact no playlist generator can do that. The phrase was restored firstly with the bizarre edit summary "a playlist doesnt necessarily have to be songs that go well together" and then later because it was "accurate". Having been copied and pasted with no errors is not a criterion which we use to decide whether to keep a quote or not. Being patronising, biased and unnecessary is, though, a criterion for removal. 200.83.101.199 (talk) 11:08, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

If all tracks get uploaded, then how do you explain matching making it far quicker for songs to appear in your library? And do you have any reliable sources to support your version? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 14:11, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
