Need help with iTunes Match setup

[d13g0123]

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help. I have a Mac Mini setup as a HTPC, a Macbook Pro and an iPhone 4. Currently iTunes Match is enabled. Couple questions:
1) is there a fix yet for playlists not syncing?
2) is there a need for me to keep the actual file of any of my music? (currently all music saved to Mac Mini, thinking of deleting to free up space)
3) Is anyone else having issues with # of "Plays" of songs (use a lot for smart playlists, Mac Mini iTunes has different # than MacBook)

1) As far as I know, this is still an issue for some/most users.

2) Not really, you have the option to stream or download once it's in iTunes Match. Just use the 'iTunes Match Status' view option to make sure it's matched/uploaded/purchased before deleting.

3) I haven't noticed any issues with this so can't comment I'm afraid.

Hope to help!
