My New Mac, Lion Edition

Using the Genius Feature

The Genius feature lets you select a song and have iTunes search through your music library to find similar songs in two ways. First, it displays a sidebar on the right of the iTunes window that shows similar songs you might want to purchase. Second, it lets you create a playlist of your existing songs that are similar to your selected song. To use the Genius feature, do this:

1. Start iTunes.

2. Click Music under the Library category in the left pane of the iTunes window. Your entire music collection appears in the right pane of the iTunes window.

3. Click any song in your iTunes library.

4. (Optional) Choose Store ▸ Turn On Genius. (If you only see a Turn Off Genius command, that means you have already turned on the Genius feature.) ...
