I agree Mike – Apple “used to” be Genius…. Nowadays Im not so sure …. Perhaps they are biting off more than they can chew!

Hmph. I was hoping for perhaps subtitles/audio tracks for iTunes videos (didn’t they promise something like that a long time ago, though? at least the subtitles?). But the Genius feature? That just bloats iTunes for me. I’m not interested. But I am curious (but not particularly excited) about the grid view…

Depends how well the Genius works, sometimes it might be nice to just hit a button and listen to what I actually want, instead of thinking about what I should drag into a playlist…but again, depends how smart the Genius really would be. I say let’s wait and see.

I think that sounds cool. I have tried things like Tangerine and The Filter but bot with great success. The Filter was better than most. For someone who has a lot of singles like me rather than loads of albums because I’m not a music geek, its quite hard to create playlists. Hopefully this will be a success. The only thing I won’t use is the Music Store recommendations.

iTunes struggles to do what you tell it sometimes let alone it trying to think for itself so I’m inclined to agree with you there!
