iTunes “genius”… no.

I'm sure I could come up with a word for it. Lets see…
Crap
Useless
Painful
Imitation of an artificial flavor?
I have used other dynamic playlist systems for years. I even have had some fairly good luck doing it within itunes with smart playlists. The solution that apple has come up with makes no sense. I cannot understand what their goal possibly could have been. They state that they use my meta data from my library to figure out what else I might want to hear… So… why the fuck would the system give me playlists full of songs with ZERO playcounts… and 1 star ratings? 1 star means don't fucking put it in my play lists… not, "Hai I LUV ths SoNG!!!" <sigh>
With pandora and the other good systems being squished by the record companies, I guess we have little hope.
