Genius Now Suggesting TV and Movies
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 08:00 AM
"Apple this week flicked the switch on its iTunes Genius recommendation engine for movies and TV shows, a feature it originally planned to introduce alongside the release of iTunes 8.1 earlier this month."
The Genius sidebar was introduced with iTunes 8.0, and was limited to suggesting music. Now they have opened it up to TV shows and movies. For example, if you select a TV show in your iTunes library, the Genius will suggest additional episodes from that show, other seasons (if there are any) and up to 10 recommendations for similar shows. Reminds me of what Netflix does with their site, suggesting movies once you have added something to your que.
