"iTunes Match will replace the music library on this device." That's
the warning one sees if one turns on Match on an IOS thingie. (I
pressed Cancel pending further study.

MacWorld.com says to ignore that warning; it just ain't true.

Which is it, and if the warning ain't true, why is it there?

iTunes Match replaces your pirated versions of music with legal versions -
that (and the extra storage space) is why it costs $25 per year to use
iTunes Match.

Does that mean it replaces my (legal, ripped copies of my own CD's)
music
library with a licensed library that I can only play on 5 machines?

If so, what happens to my access to that music if I stop payinig
the fee?

I don't have any pirated music. As for my question, I'll take it as
read that you don't know the answer, just as you don't know anything
about anything.

jc:
That's the question. But you can be pretty sure that the answer is
that, while your ripped CD's may be replicated in the Cloud, they will
remain as always on your computer. It appears to me after doing the
upload thing that iTunes Match doesn't really have much to do with
iTunes running on a computer. That's where it gets its songs, but it
seems not affect the music on my computer in any way. As near as I can
tell it's the IOS thingies that make use of the music that iTunes Match
has moved to the cloud.

Once iTunes has completed all of its machinations the only effect I can
see in the iTunes library on my Mac is the cloud icon showing the
status of a playlist or a song within a playlist. Under View Options
you may now select "iCloud Status," which may be (inter alia) "Matched"
(ripped CD's), or "Purchased" (from iTunes), or "Uploaded" music from
obscure or foreign CDs that iTunes could not match or music purchased
on-line from sources other than iTunes), or "Not Eligible" (spoken
word, digital booklets, other odd stuff). But whatever the status,
everything remains on my Mac.

You can also turn off Match on an IOS thingie at any time and sync with
your computer as you always have, getting the playlists that you want.

Sounds like a pretty good deal then. I'll probably go for it.

As Davoud said You can also turn off Match on an IOS thingie.
But you don't have to turn it off you can just turn off Show all Music
on an IOS thingie to just see whats on the iPhone etc.
You can also turn it of on your Mac. When I turned it off I could find
no changes to my iTunes library. I have since turned it back on...I like
having access to my complete iTunes library at better quality on my 16GB
iPhone that will not hold all my songs even a a lower quality.

Whatever. I'm done dealing with the infestation of morons around here.
I'll leave you idiots to keep yourselves happy with your anti-Apple
know-nothing misinformation, lies and utter crap. :-\

Which is terrible because when it was announced at the Keynote, it was
to be about avoiding the need for you to have to upoad all the music you
ripped from your CDs.

So if I have CD music ripped to higher quality standard, that service
will replace it with the lower quality Itunes standard.

I don't consider all the music I copied from my CD's to iTunes to be
pirated. Most esp. as a lot of it I already had on vinyl before buying
the CD version.

$25 / year is too much. A lot easier to simply load my iPhone from my
iMac iTunes. Portable enough.

Google Music will be offering an "anywhere/anytime" option for all of
your music for free - at least for music you buy via their store.
