Is there any way to download all of my iTunes Match music in one go on iTunes OS X?

I've tried selecting all then clicking the little iCloud Button.

I've also tried generating an Automator 'Watch me do' script, but that fails because the iCloud buttons have not been given a namespace selector, meaning the script errors out.

Does anyone know how this could be achieved? I have over 2,000 songs and don't want to click the button individually for each one.

Have you tried selecting all and then selecting download from the right-click context menu? – Diago Jan 22 at 19:07
Yes, select all and right-click. – Chris A Jan 22 at 19:31
facepalm. I hadn't seen that one. – Alfo Jan 23 at 16:13
Alfo, you get an upvote for trying Automator. @Diago, shouldn't you post that as an answer so this question can be marked as answered? – Tyler Wayne Jan 29 at 10:15
