I think it's multiple things. One, the free "upgrade" to 20 GB from last year is ending, and two, the music match process.

They changed the pricing tiers too. If you pay the $25/year now, it's "50 GB + Cloud Player Premium
$25.00 / year"
As for the music match, I was just reading the terms of service, and it's adding metadata to your files that have been uploaded with your amazon username:
1.3 Unique Identifiers. Some record companies require us to insert identifiers in the metadata that accompanies music from these companies that uniquely identify it as music you have received from us ("Unique Identifiers"). This includes music you have purchased from Amazon.com and Matched Music imported to the Service from your device. These Unique Identifiers may include a random number we assign to your order or copy, the Amazon store name, codes that identify the album and song (the UPC and ISRC), Amazon's digital signature, and an identifier that can be used to determine whether the audio has been modified. Music supplied by Universal Music Group will also include in the Unique Identifier the purchase date and time, and the first part of the email address associated with your Amazon.com account so that you know these files are unique to you. Songs sold in the Amazon MP3 Store that include these Unique Identifiers are marked on their product detail page. These Unique Identifiers do not affect the playback experience in any way.
