ITunes 'Genius' ? Help! (albums, quote, artists, songs, last.fm)

Astronomer · 10-21-2008, 08:17 PM

I just downloaded an apparently new version of ITunes for my Mac and there is this application on it called 'Genius.' It supposedly gets information about your music library and then recommends new artists/ albums/ songs you might like. I was like 'cool!' But mine always says "Genius sidebar could not find any specific matches for your selection." Does anybody know why?

I know is this really random and off-topic but I thought I'd ask anyway!

just use last.fm

the Genius thing is for making a playlist that takes similar songs from your library to make a mix. i'm guessing you got the "Genius sidebar could not find any specific matches for your selection" message because your song choice was too obscure maybe?

It tells me I need a fricken account for that.

Lol @ iTunes.

Lol @ iTunes and last.FM

I'd use Last.fm if it would work with the Zune program

I'm getting a Zune.

Do you recommend it?

Definitely.

Mine's only messed up on me once, and it's a 1st Gen 30 Gig.

I sent it in, and they sent me a new one for free.

Are you kidding me?

That's amazing.

I'm definitely going to have to get it now.
