Genius music

The last iTunes update included Genius.  It’s taken me almost a week after I installed it to getting around to using it, but it is a very wonderful thing.

Pick any song, and iTunes will attempt to build a playlist around that from your music library.

Today, I was in a funky I-don’t-know-what-to-listen-to mood. So I picked a song I haven’t listened to in a while, clicked the Genius button, and in a matter of seconds had the following – all of which was just what I wanted to listen to.  It’s Genius.
