Genius Mixes
Posted by Paul Waring on 11 September 2009 - 4:41pm.
Ok, so I've downloaded iTunes 9 and I've updated 'Genius'. After long minutes waiting for Genius to do its thing, I now have twelve 'Genius Mixes' that iTunes has kindly provided me with.
Which is nice.
But my question is, 'Is that it?'
I don't seem to be able to edit the mixes, or update them, or replace them with new mixes.
I know I can do my own genius playlists, but I want to do Mixes!
Also - the mix criteria seem to be a bit off - it has given me a mix called the 'Singer/Songwriter (Female) Mix' that is, apparently, "based upon Crowded House, Edwyn Collins, Scouting For Girls (I know, I know) and others"
Anyone able to enlighten me?

It's a silly gimmick.
I gave it a try last night, and found it to be a silly gimmick.
The mixes are based on what people have bought from the iTunes store, more or less, and therefore only contain stuff actually in the store. It's really aimed at the pillocks with small music collections who need to be told what to like.
when you said genius mixes
I thought you meant stuff like this - Deep Dish re-mix, re-make, re-imagine EBTG's Wrong
Or even this
Genius = Idiotic
For all the great and wonderful things about iTunes and Apple, "Genius" is just so dumb. Turn it off. It's like those stupid quiz things in Facebook, once you've checked it out just forget it.
