Genius

If you use itunes and haven't upgraded to version 8 - do it NOW! There is a new feature called genius - it takes the hassle out of one of the time consuming activities within itunes - creating playlists.

With genius, you select a track, hit the genius button and it will create a playlist. I've had 5 people try it out and they have all had the same reaction "that's great - how does it do it?"

Ah, its black magic i tell yer!

Frankly i don't care. It does the job very well and builds great compilations. After a while you see if you can fool it by hitting the "refresh" button again and again. It seems to come up with and endless combination of tracks that sit well together. I have to admit i have over 7000 tracks in itunes so i do have a good base for it to work from. But genius is a better DJ than i ever will be!
