Apple Music fans can now have more than 25,000 tracks in their music libraries, as Apple reportedly increased the matching limit of Apple Music to 100,000 tracks.
The news was confirmed by MacRumors after receiving an update from Eddy Cue, Apple's senior VP of Internet Software and Services. According to Cue, Apple has started to roll out 100k-library support to Apple Music.
While Apple has yet to make an announcement on the rollout, several users already said that they were able to upload more than 25,000 tracks of music libraries to iTunes Match or Apple Music. The information was revealed by users to Kirk McElhearn, Macworld's iTunes expert, who reported through his personal blog post.
McElhearn also took to Twitter to spread the good news.

Apple had previously allowed users to store up to 25,000 titles in their music library. Earlier this year, Cue revealed on Twitter that the company was working on increasing the matching limit of Apple Music from 25,000 to 100,000, at least prior to the release of iOS 9.
In September, Apple launched iOS 9 to compatible devices although no word was given on the limit increase. However, Cue said that Apple was indeed still working on the matter and that the company had planned to release the feature before the year ends.
Apple Music users who are keen on keeping more than 25,000 titles to their music libraries can also take advantage of the launch of Apple Music beta on the wireless speaker systems of Sonos, where they can stream their music collection from their Apple Music account. According to a previous report, Sonos users can control their Apple Music account, access their music library and receive new music recommendations in the feature known as "For You" through the Sonos app. Sonos said that the Apple Music beta is coming to its ecosystem on Dec. 15 and added that it is launching it to the public in early 2016.
Apple charges $24.99 a year to iTunes Match users or $9.99 a month to subscribers of Apple Music. The latter also charges $14.99 a month to users who want to subscribe to a family plan.
"Experience Apple Music for three months, free," said Apple. "Whether you're listening solo or looking for entertainment for the whole family, Apple Music has a membership that's right for you. Even without a membership, you can listen to Beats 1 radio, see what artists are posting on Connect, and hear our ad-supported stations."
