Guess what’s missing on my desk…
Right, one of my Syncmaster T240s is missing!
Why? Because I need some space for the new 27” Quadcore iMac which will be shipped in a few weeks!
Since the release of iTunes 9 a few weeks ago I’m using iTunes as my default music player.
One thing that bugged for a few weeks was that Genius wasn’t as helpful as I should be.
A little info about Genius taken from Wikipedia-sensei for those not familiar with this feature:
The Genius feature, introduced in iTunes 8, automatically generates a playlist of songs from the user’s library which are similar to the selected song. Genius playlists are created by the ratings system and collaborative filtering. An iTunes Store account is required because information about the user’s library must first be sent anonymously to Apple’s database. Algorithms determine which songs to play based on other users’ libraries, and Genius becomes more intelligent given a larger data set. The resulting Genius playlist can contain 25, 50, 75, or 100 songs and can be refreshed for new results or saved. The Genius Sidebar will similarly recommend selections for purchase from the iTunes Store based on the selected library track. iTunes 9 added Genius Mixes, where the Genius software finds similar music and automatically puts them into mixes.
It worked fine for western music of course, but for all my Japanese music it didn’t find useful, matching stuff.
The problem is that I have an Austrian iTunes account and there isn’t something like a global iTunes Store. There aren’t much Japanese artist available here and some Apps from the App Store are only available in Japan too.
Are you sometimes very bored too? You have very un-moe trees standing around in your area? Why don’t you try some mod- moe-fication?
