I can't comment on Genius, but MusicIP mixes have worked well enough for me on a large collection on a daily basis that I would say its more a matter of personal preference. I have occasionally seen "drift" where MusicIP picks up on adjacent tracks which are individually close to each other, but slowly morph into a completely different mix style over time, but more common is long multi-hour mixes where the over theme and style are consistent yet innovative. The only exception are occasional albums which seem to flummox MusicIP's coding causing a mix based on any song from that album to bring up largely other tracks on that same album, but its rare. My feeling is any tech that mixes based on consensus and user submissions (genius, last.fm, pandora) will inevitably lead to a greatest hits area where you'll always end up with the most popular song/artist in any given genre with enough time. Also I do feel that any greater integration with iTunes will over time hurt Squeezecenter, as it will constantly have to react to changes brought about by Apple and users who don't understand that they effectively using two separate systems to interpret their music. If Squeezecenter ends up being an extension of iTunes, then the system is ultimately doomed. -- sander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61977 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
