So i downloaded the new iTunes on my laptop last night.
pretty sweet.
comes with Genius.
it takes all the music thats in your library and sends it to iTunes, so everytime you play a song , on the right hand side (where the Genius bar is now) itll suggest other songs youll prob like or songs that your missing based off of what your playing.

Also if you click any song you have then click the little genius bottom itll make you a playlist of your chosen length of songs that will go good with the one you picked. (granted it just puts songs of the same genres usually, but its still pretty sweet if your in the mood to make a quick playlist of only a certain type of music)

its gettin some mixed reviews already.
but i like it so far for the most part.
anyone else try it yet?

 

no one else has used it yet?
any other feedback?

 

It's alright. I'm sorta neutral about it. I prefer not to use it, but it's kinda cool when I do.

 

hmmm must update

 

yea, i think its pretty good for just making playlists like if your workin in the garage or just chillin in your room.
i wouldnt use it to make CD's or permanent playlists for myself though.
my buddy asked me to make him a rap mix last night though, so im just gonna use genius for it. haha

 

I haven't tried it yet. Seems like, depending upon how big your library it is, it takes a while to scrub your library.

I have 20k songs in my iTunes, so I need to set it to scan before I leave for work or something.

 

lol.
i have about 4K, it took a couple minutes. not to bad.

 

Genius ____ing owns.

Click one song and you get a 100 song playlist. Plus it gives me more music to go download.

 

I'm definitely going to play with it some later on.

Man, it's like we were all just at that other forum.

 

well SL's boring when youve read just about every new post since the day you joined.
yaknowhaimean? lol

 

yaddimean*

I can't help it. I'm from the b(y)ay area.

 

meh.
slang spellcheck FTL. lol
if its alerady slang...you cant really fk up the spelling.
thats my theory.

 

meh...good point

 

my iPhone has genius now :-)

 

i think its another way of us purchasing more songs? still cool tho.

 

Im into it

 

Just what we need, more suggestive selling... saw the feature when I upgraded - but I'm not feeling it

 

why buy when u can download?

 

Genius FTL, Pandora FTW

A lot of music I have isn't recognized by Genius, underground techno and such

 

yeah genius is cool and all
but most of my songs it doesnt know
Eurobeat, Techno, and other genres
