And playlists aren’t useful because you can’t tap the first track in a playlist and expect the succeeding tracks to download as their turn comes up in the queue. Nor will the mixer tools work because, again, the selected track isn’t on your iPad. An SRS representative I spoke to suggested that if you want to have a satisfactory experience with iTunes Match tracks you open the Music app, download the tracks you want, return to MyTunes Pro HD, and then play the tracks with any music enhancements you’ve chosen. Given how little direct support the app has for iTunes Match, it might have been better to leave it out altogether rather than frustrate users who expect it to work better than it does.

Despite the issues with iTunes Match and the fact that some of the features are gimmicky—the mixers and transitions, in particular—this is still an attractive app given its $10 price. If you wanted just the Wow HD effect on your iPad previously, you’d have paid $70 for SRS’s audio adapter ( Macworld rated 4 out of 5 mice ). That’s no longer necessary provided that you play your music within the MyTunes Pro HD app.

The time-limited free version is awfully time-limited at just 10 minutes a day. But those 10 minute should give you enough time to decide if MyTunes Pro HD is a good fit for you and your music.
