Yes. They're just called genius playlists. The ones you make yourself are called genius lists. iTunes manages your Genius Mixes.
Well what I find disappointing about Genius Playlists is that theyre only 25 tracks, and then they stop. Genius Mixes just keep playing, so I was hoping you could create your own too.
It's kind of a disappointment IMO. I only listen to hip hop and every mix it made is just named Rap Mix 1, Rap Mix 2, Rap Mix 3, etc.... So it's basically just like throwing shuffle on. Guess if you listen to a real variety it will be nice.
Hey, at least you got those names. Mine are literally just Mix 1 Mix 2 Mix 3
etc. If you look at which artists each one is based off of, you can probably figure out more closely what each mix will be like, since rap is pretty broad.
First of all, can you do this on your iPod? Will my Genius Mixes load up onto my iPod touch?
Secondly, this reminds me a lot of the radio feature in GTA: Vice City. I've got the hip-hop on right now for my library, and I've already gotten Eminem, Beastie Boys, and now Tupac with Dre; really cool stuff.
I didn't get my hopes up to high for this event (too much else going on), so I'm enjoying some of these new features.
Yeah, its part of the 3.1 firmware, although its been beyond buggy on the iPod for me. Theyve been crashing like crazy, and every time they do, the album art images get all screwed up. After the first crash, the images for Mixes 7-9 were replaced with the ones from Mixes 1-3. Then next time it crashed, all the art got bumped up one and Mix 1 was the only one correct (so the art for 2-9 was what used to be 1-8
and this was after 7-9 had already been messed up, so at this point the images for Mix 1 were also showing up on both Mixes 2 and 8, etc.)
Also, every time I switch from a Genius Mix back to anything else, repeat is always switched on. Kind of annoying.
