Subscribe to iTunes Match: In iTunes on your computer, go to Store > Turn On iTunes Match, then click the Subscribe button.

Once you subscribe, iTunes adds your music, playlists, and Genius Mixes to iCloud. Your songs that match music already in the iTunes Store are automatically available in iCloud. Other songs are uploaded. You can download and play matched songs at up to iTunes Plus quality (256 kbps DRM-free AAC), even if your original was of lower quality. For more information, go to www.apple.com/icloud/features.

Turn on iTunes Match: Go to Settings > Music.

Turning on iTunes Match removes synced music from iPad, and disables Genius Mixes and Genius Playlists.
