iTune Match - how to download from the Cloud?

[BlindMellon]

Hey all,
I've got s few thousand songs I've run up the 'match' flagpole. In iTunes, many say purchased and many more say Matched. How can I download the better quality of the .mp3 songs I have on my computer? (kind of why I 'matched' them)

Any pointers would be helpful!

UPDATE: Figured it out. Delete your songs first, then delete the album in iTunes. Then you get the cloud icon so you can download the HQ version...

Just to make sure i understand, you delete the actual file in the iTunes directory and then in iTunes program.
