"Genius" Feature in New iTunes 8.0...It's That Good!

Do you have iTunes? Have you downloaded the newest version that was released Tuesday? There is a new feature called, Genius. You can choose a song that you would like to listen to other like songs that are within your iTunes library, then with complex algorithms iTunes will VERY accurately choose similar songs (some of which you didn't even know you had, but pleasantly surprised you now do!)

I don't pretend to be an expert on how they make the algorithm, but what I do know is that your music and listening habits gets anonymously sent to Apple. The more people that "engage" in the Genius feature, the smarter the feature will get (and yes you have opt-in for the feature)!

In addition to making great playlists of songs you already own, it makes some damn good suggestions for music to purchase in regards to any song you select. I've quickly burned through some money just in the first couple of minutes using the tool.

If your familiar with Pandora, then you in many ways already understand the Genius feature...but it features music you own!
