How does iTunes Match work?

Posted by Sumflow on June 27, 2012 at 17:23:13:
How does iTunes Match, matching work?

If someone uploads a 160 kbps, do they just oversample that at 256 kbps and match it to everybody else who has the song at any resolution?

That is if the user has a file of 1,000 kbps, does Tunes match say they have a match with the small converted 160 kbps file?

When users copy it, do they get the 160 kbps oversampled to 256 kbps and a message to delete the 1000 kbps file in iTunes on there computer?
