- Error
- Duplicate
- Ineligible
If you're having problems, take a look at the Troubleshooting iTunes Match article.

Does "duplicate" mean that there is another copy on the machine that has been uploaded to the cloud?– oromeCommented Nov 15, 2011 at 1:31

I'm not sure what no icon means, but I believe that Duplicate does mean that there's already a copy in the cloud. Commented Nov 15, 2011 at 1:41

I think I see what no icon means: the song is on your machine "already" — i.e., it's in the cloud, but is present on the machine too. This can be a bit misleading though as the version "already" on the machine many not be the 256kbps version that's available in the cloud.– oromeCommented Nov 15, 2011 at 1:49

In fact, there seem to be three "versions" of no icon: (1) Matched = iTunes found a match, even though you didn't purchase it through iTunes; (2) Purchased = you purchased this track from iTunes (for both of which, as mentioned, the version in the cloud may be better than the one you have); and (3) Uploaded = with indicates songs that iTunes could not find a match in its database but which you have uploaded to iCloud.– oromeCommented Nov 15, 2011 at 3:40
