8th paragraph of what?
If you just want to use icloud and music match, you just turn it on. That's all you have to do.
If you're interested in upgrading the quality of some of your low quality tracks that were matched, then read the article in the link I posted. Otherwise, ignore it. It's certainly not required.

There's nothing wrong with google music, but it just doesn't integrate as well in ios devices. I hope it integrates better in android devices.
It's a fine service, I have both. Now that music match is here, google music will be a backup for me on the ios devices. And I would say that if you aren't an itunes user or ios device user, there's really no reason to use the music match service either. amazon or google would probably be a better choice for you. (at least until Amazon starts charging for it.)
