    I just google how does genius work and got:
    http://www.applematters.com/article/an-in-depth-look-at-itunes-genius/

    Basically if you have a huge music collection it picks out songs you prob never listen to that are really good when you're in the mood for that type of music. It is impressive, and also on the iphones....

    I use it ALL the time as I dont have to spend hours making my own :p


    Now that is impressive.

    How the hell does it know what mood I am in?

    I don't know what phone you have luckylucky but certainly on the A****** (don't dare use the word anymore :D) phones you could look at www.last.fm

    You tell it what songs you like or it can discover it from what you play most and then you can get it to play other songs you might like... or you can just ask it to play songs based on one song that you like at that moment in time.

    The software is also available to the iPhone (see i'm not discriminating here) but not sure about Symbian etc.


    I use lastfm at home on the pc from time to time.

    Don't use the phone (Desire) for music at all.

    Never used any phone for music.

    Nice song there Minxy! ;) I'm rocking out to Scuzz at the moment - Love my 11am rock out sessions :p

    Genius is BUILT IN to the iphone and iTunes so the devices fit tight together :p

    Lucy, it knows what mood you in as you start it when you're listening to a song.. so if you're listening to Shinedown - Devour, it will know you want some awesome grunge rock to get pented up for something and give you that ;)

    Would be very clever.

    I hope their current sales pitch for Genius doesn't suggest that it is somehow mood based
