iTunes Genius

~~TumorAttitude~~ · 05-10-2009, 06:11 PM

I'm addicted to it.
(For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, you pick the first song, and they make a mixtape of 25, 50, 75, or 100 songs based on your first pick. And its awesome.)
Do you guys like it, or use it, or hate iTunes with a passion, or have no opinion whatsoever?

Rarely, but that's just because I prefer to listen to whole albums and when I do listen to mixes they're ones that I create.
I use geniua more on the itunes store for suggestion purposes.

Really? Even the filler?
I'm covinced Apple hardwired Genius to read my mind for my musical tastes and preferences to filter out all the **** in my library.....

Most people here chose to listen to proper albums. You know, albums without filler.

If I'm looking for a mix I'll log on to Pandora. Now that's a case of a program reading my mind. Genius just uses algorhytms that are based on predictable criteria and tags.

how do you know it's filler till you listen to it? i find that many times when i buy albums, my favorite songs are the little known tracks on cds instead of the big hit(s) that i bought it for in the first place

I like this, because there are some albums where I only like two or three songs, and the rest just suck.

I use last.fm though, way better...and it's not limited to your library. Once I get a Nano I will use it a lot though.

I hate iTunes with a ****ing fiery passion of a thousand suns. I had over 300 dollars worth of music on my laptop that I wanted to transfer over to my desktop, but I use Winamp now, well iTunes wasn't about to let me just move those songs I bought over and I couldn't find a conversion software. Actually it's kind of a blessing in disguise because it assuaged any guilt I had about downloading music, because at least when I download something, I actually own it, and not a license to listen to it as long as I use their software and abide by their rules.

I like it just cause of the Coverflow lol...but I'd never buy from it.
