When I finally saw the video of Steve Jobs announcing and demoing the Genius, the first thing that came to mind was *kaching*. I think you get the drift.
The idea behind iTunes Genius is that it “creates a playlist from songs in your library that go great together.” It’s basically a smart discovery-recommendation engine that offers a new set of songs from a user-selected song in your playlist.
The Genius idea actually attracts more purchases from the iTunes store. The engine actually up-sells you new songs you might want to own and listen too. Apple should have had this feature much, much earlier — it’s a great idea and it’s something that could tremendously push their iTunes sales. Kaching!

it doesn’t work in Manila
jeff says:
I just downloaded the iTunes 8.0 and the Genius option works pretty well. An apple ID is required but sign-up is easy.
A little FYI, iTunes had an online sidebar option before which gives info about the song, other songs from its album and songs you may like.
jeff says:
It does work in Manila, you just have to create an apple ID and set it up for the Philippines. no credit card option needed just verification of email.
kouji says:
interesting to see apple finally take advantage of this technology. the rationale is clear, offer another lure to persons, to try out and buy other music. wonder if it’ll take off. :)
Jez says:
@Jeff — how can I create an apple ID? I’ve tried making one (even using my mom’s credit card) but to now avail.
Lyle, RN says:
The iTunes Genius is more than just about songs that you may want to buy.
It also creates genius playlists of songs that are *ALREADY* in your library based on one song.
This is a feature that I have been looking for in media players since forever. Very useful in my book.

This is like the Pandora musical genome project. The genome project is really cool and many online radios have something like it. Apple, though, will put the concept into the mass market and they will be the company that makes billions out of this.
BrianB says:
sorry, it’s Pandora Music Genome Project
LiNTEK says:
for Apple its an awesome and really genius idea, I do agree that they shoul’ve added this feature a long long time ago.
South Park says:
I updated and viola! I have 3 new playlists on my Touch. Genius is really A GENIUS!
BrianB says:
LINTEK, it’s copied from Online Radios like Pandora. They din’t think up the idea. Their Genius software is actually inferior from what you can get from Rhapsody, Last.fm or Pandora.
jeff says:
@JEZ : To create an apple ID and activate Genius,
Download the new release of iTunes 8.0
then click turn on Genius on the side bar,
then create a new account I remember they will just ask for a name email and country (um, choose Philippines cause they can detect your IP adress from here anyway)
then wait for the verification message via email.
TA DA!
Jay says:
i don’t like the genius in my iTunes (personal preference) it just clutters up my iTunes like a Yahoo Messenger Ad or a pop up..
yuga, how do you turn it off?
Abe Olandres says:
iTunes Menu Store -> Turn off Genius
vance says:
@jeff, Ah I see thanks.
I’m wondering when will itunes store be available locally, there is the app store already.

Web Design says:
Thanks for the recommendations you have discussed here. Yet another thing I would like to convey is that computer system memory demands generally rise along with other improvements in the technology. For instance, if new generations of cpus are brought to the market, there is certainly usually a matching increase in the dimensions preferences of both the laptop or computer memory plus hard drive room. This is because the software program operated by these processors will inevitably increase in power to use the new technological innovation.

Hi there, I do think your website could possibly be having internet browser compatibility
problems. Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in IE, it
has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads

Homebuyers mainly turn to the realestate agents for finding the right
property, but the realestateagents also assist finding the right property in different
areas like the homes in Fairfield County, where the realestate market is really competitive.
Churchill said, “This will be something that we do now on every home that we’re marketing in this price-point.

Sure maybe these ‘newbies’ don’t have the collectors edition of ‘Slapshot’ or know that ‘Brass Bonanza’ by the now defunct Hartford Whalers was the most epic
sports song ever, but at least they are starting to
get it. It is important to keep in mind that there have been NO confirmed cases of swine flu in Jalisco.
