The Genius Bar is... well... genius

So when starting up iTunes on my computer i once again got that annoying popup asking if i wanted to download the latest version of iTunes. Usually i ignore these requests and move on but since seeing the latest ads for the new line of iPods, i gave it a try and downloaded it.  

I'll just cut to the chase and say that the waiting time for the download is definitely worth it as Apple finally added something to the interface that is actually useful and pretty cool to use. They created the Genius Bar which is pretty much the exact same technology as what Pandora uses. By clicking a song in your library you will be shown what popular songs you are missing from that artist as well as numerous recommendations for songs to listen to based on your taste. It also has a function that automatically creates a playlist from the similar styles of music in your own library.

Ever since i downloaded the update i've been constantly making playlists and rediscovering music in my library that i haven't listened to in years.
