iTunes 8 really does have a “Genius” feature.
As you know iTunes 8 has a new feature called Genius, which when activated will create a playlist based on the song that you are currently listening to.
Let me take this opportunity to say that the iTunes Genius feature is… well GENIUS! It has changed the way I use iTunes for ever!
Once your iTunes library get over a few thousand tracks you often find that you loose the ability to put your hand on a great track to listen to next, the grouping of albums, artists, genres, etc makes it almost impossible to create a “Fresh” new playlist that hangs together well, Genius solves this issue in an instant.
The icing on the cake is the Genius side bar that includes songs that would fit well into the playlist that you don’t already own, in the few hours that I have been using it, I have already found several “GEMS” that i would normally not have in my library.
The only down side to the Genius feature that i can see it that I’m now going to spend even more cash on iTunes each day! Doh!
Internet Radio on iTunes
Today I realized that I have become totally dependent on the Internet Radio support in iTunes when coding at night!
I spend a good amount of time in the office when the other guys have gone home (dedication ey?) and having a random (usually Dance Music) internet radio station blasting out from across the office creates a fantastic coding environment.
Although, I guess you do need to be the sort of person who likes to code to Music.
I’ve spent the last 4 hours listening to a station called Puls which is the sort of non stop dance music that makes you smile 
Try it…
