iTunes 8 Genius is Pretty Decent
I have been reading good and bad things about the new Genius in iTunes 8 and so this morning I was looking for a specific song in my collection I hadn't listened to in a while (Please Come to Boston) and I decided to turn on the Genius and see what playlist the Genius would make with that song as the key. Low expectations... more interest than anything else.
But I was wrong... it's pretty decent. Then again, I have a pretty simplistic taste and so there was a lot of material that would be similar. Still... I have to say that their goal of trying to make easier for me to pick a song and get a neat playlist out of it is admirable.
I'm sure it'll get better, but even now, it's pretty darn good. Thanks, Apple.
