After updating to iOS 5 and now adding iTunes Match, I noticed that you can't make genius mixes within the music app on the iPhone. I haven't checked my iPad yet. Anyone else notice this?
Got a tip for us?

Genius Mixes

Here's what I'm doing as a short term fix until Apple adds Genius Mixes to Match:
Go to Doug's Scripts and download Dumb Down Genius Mix Playlist v1.2 (http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=dumbdowngeniusmix). You can read the description there of what it does and how it works, but it basically gives you a static playlist of about 70 or so songs that would come up in a genius mix. This playlist will be accessible with Match. This will give you a "sort of" functionality for Genius Mixes with it.

iTunes Match is very half-baked on the iPhone. None of my playlists sync and it takes forever to download tracks (over wifi). I think I'm going to return to manually syncing my phone, but I'll continue using iTunes match to keep my home and work computers in sync.
