Apple reportedly raise iTunes Match and Apple Music Library matching limits

Reports from MacRumors have surfaced saying some users have noticed they’re able to upload more than 25,000 tracks to iTunes Match or Apple Music’s similar scan-and-match feature. Exceeding the current limit means Apple is keeping to its word to raise the matching limit. Back in late June and before the launch of Apple Music, Eddy Cue said on Twitter that Apple planned to raise this limit to 100,000 for iOS 9. But that didn’t show up when iOS 9 made its debut. When MacRumors checked with Cue in October, he said the company was “definitely working on it” and it would go live “before the end of the year.” So perhaps Apple is keeping its word, but they haven’t made official announcements for it yet.

Google brings Photo Sphere to Photos on the web

You used to only be able to view Photo Sphere images on your Android app. Google Photos released an update to now let you see these 360-degree panoramas on your desktop browser or even your mobile web browser. If you own a Google Cardboard, you can even view them through the headset for a more immersive experience.

If you fancy making a Photo Sphere and haven’t tried before, one method you can use is the Cardboard Camera app available for Android 4.4+. As its name suggests, it works for use with Google Cardboard. To record an image, all you need to do is press the record button and slowly rotate the camera in a circle. It’ll take around a minute to process before you can pop the phone into your Cardboard and enjoy the shot you took. The software transforms it into a stereogram to make it look like the image is in 3D.
