OK, I can dig that Apple's new last.fm-style music recommendation system is just starting up, so their Genius doesn't have as broad a musical taste as me, but it doesn't even seem to reliably know about tracks that I *know* are in the iTunes store. And it's not that I don't have them tagged correctly, because they were able to find the album artwork for them. Updating Genius takes forever, too.
What, you mean it doesn't Just Work?
I used to use a social playlist system that worked with iTunes, and worked MUCH better than Genius... It was faster, more reliable, and didn't care where the music came from originally. I'm wondering now if Apple borged them and turned their code into Idiot.
Apple is becoming Microsoft.
Speaking of album artwork, they REALLY need a way to show the location of the downloaded album artwork file so I can clobber it when it has the wrong one. All my jazz podcasts are showing up with the album cover of some BBC science show, and it's beginning to freak me out.
