NPR All Songs Considered did a nice story about Apple’s New iTunes 8 ‘Genius’ feature. It sort of makes a mix tape for you on the fly that uses some Pandora-like AI to guide the making of the ‘mix’. I’ve been playing with it for the last week or so and I have to say it’s quite good. It’s especially nice on the iPod for setting a mood. And the promise is that it will get ’smarter’ as more data is gathered from the cloud. Exciting stuff. Also, check out the mix-like offerings on this very fine site. Good stuff all around.
