I’m Loving the iTunes Genius
Has anyone else upgraded to iTunes 8 and tried out the new Genius feature? At first I thought it was a little gimmicky, but I have been loving it the past few days for creating on-the-fly playlists, both for general listening and for workout playlists, which are usually a huge pain to create.
What is it? After selecting a song to play, you simply click the genius button and iTunes will create a new playlist with the chosen song and more songs from your library that iTunes believes will complement the current song. After creating the playlist you can select the number of songs in the playlist, refresh the selections, and even store the playlist for listening later. The last feature is awesome for creating workout playlists from one uptempo song.
If you use iTunes and have a even a moderate size library I highly recommend trying out genius. It’s a huge time saver for creating new playlists, and a great way to rediscover songs in your library.
