What do you mean by "error prone"?... Delays?... Picks tracks that you
were not expecting? Fails to pick tracks? 

Have you tried MusicIP using the more stable Windows platform? I have
listened to Genius generated mixes, but the resulting Genius mixes are
not as diverse as the ones that I get from MusicIP. If I don't set any
limitations on variety, I get to listen to tracks in my library that I
never knew I had. My FLAC library is ~230GB.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. MusicIP bases its mixes on sound
signature tags (or if not embedded on tags, on an index of signatures
associated with the tracks). The mixes are generated "locally" using
these signatures. No need to be connected to the MusicIP server to
generate mixes. I'm not too familiar with the technology behind Genius.
How exactly are Genius mixes generated? Do they require a connection to
iTunes... and if so why?
