Genius did better by finding groovy, laid-back electronic tracks from Amon Tobin, RJD2, and Groove Armada. When creating a Genius Playlist from John Mayer's "Free Fallin'" live cover, for example, iTunes brought Blind Melon's "No Rain," Spin Doctors' "Two Princes," and Blues Travelers' "Run-Around," among other fairly upbeat songs that really don't have much in common with Mayer.Īnother experiment with Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" brought mixed results, with Alice in Chains' "Would?" fitting the bill but other tracks like Gin Blossoms' "Hey Jealousy" (no making fun, I keep it for nostalgic purposes) and Counting Crows' "Round Here" seeming a bit out of place, regardless of sharing the same decade in music.Ī very positive Genius experiment came from Bonobo's "Silver," from its Animal Magic album. When playing with Genius, we found it to certainly be fun, but fairly hit and miss in this early iteration. Over time, this should increase Genius' accuracy when creating playlists of songs that match the particular mood or beat you're looking for. A social aspect to Genius allows it to anonymously send your list of music up into the iTunes Store cloud and compile it with everyone else's.
