Dammit, I meant to add this to my random post:
Anybody else have genius mixes turned on iTunes? Since this crowd seems to have wide ranging and at the same time similar tastes (how often does is happen that none of the random tens posted have no Big Star or YLT?) I thought it would be interesting to see a screenshot of genius mix screens. Here’s my latest.
Genius Mixes? yay! a new feature i haven’t played with!
will report back later.
ok. here’s mine
odd that the “Jazz” mix icon is three young, white, women and Dave Brubeck.
The jazz mix comes and goes from week to week in mine. I’d guess that Some categories have a borderline number of songs and some weeks make the cut and others they don’t. Here’s one from a month or two ago when I tho0ught about comparing but never did anything. It has jazz and hip hop, but doesn’t have singer/songwriter broken into alt and not alt.
I wonder what database they use for classifying.
My Genius Mix doesn’t have captions under each item so while I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes here is a random 10 songs from my lovely new HTC Desire:
1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Tick.
2. Arcade Fire – Crown Of Love.
3. The Horrors – I Can’t Control Myself.
4. Radiohead – Morning Bell.
5. The Dandy Warhols – The Gospel.
6. Doves – The Outsiders.
7. Mumford & Sons – The Cave.
8. Love – You Set The Scene.
9. Supergrass – You Can See Me.
10. Talking Heads – Pulled Up.
OK, upgrade complete and mix picture uploaded.
