Many of you may have already updated your version of iTunes, but if you haven’t, you really need to check out the new Genius feature of iTunes 8.0. Basically you “Play a song, click the Genius button, and iTunes creates a playlist of other songs from your library that go great together. Genius playlists help you discover songs in your library you never knew you had — and rediscover forgotten favorites.” ~ Apple.com.
For example, I was playing Brian Free & Assurance’s “Long As I Got King Jesus” and clicked on the Genius icon.? Here is the playlist that was produced:
| Long As I Got King Jesus (Live) | Brian Free & Assurance |
| Don’t Let the Sandals Fool Ya | Triumphant Quartet |
| He Forgot | The Perrys |
| Paid In Full (Through Jesus, Amen) | Greater Vision |
| In Time, On Time, Every Time | Gold City |
| Hey | Karen Peck & New River |
| Get Away Jordan | Ernie Haase & Signature Sound |
| God’s Word | Kingdom Heirs |
| Champion Of Love | The Cathedrals |
| Give It Away | Gaither Vocal Band |
| Walk On | The Isaacs |
| Speak The Word, Lord | New Hinsons |
| Why Not Make It Now | Brian Free & Assurance |
| Hey Jonah | Triumphant Quartet |
| Under His Wings | The Ruppes |
| He Saw It All | Booth Brothers |
| Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord | Tony Gore |
| My Name Is Lazarus | Greater Vision |
| There Is A Remedy | The McRaes |
| Preach The Word | Gold City |
| Jesus Will Pick You Up | Brian Free & Assurance |
| He Will Hide Me | The Perrys |
| I Can Pray | Dove Brothers Quartet |
| Shoutin’ Time | The Hoppers |
| A Little Song Coming On | Three Bridges |
This playlist was awesome!? Plus, if you get a really good playlist, you can save it to listen to later.
Granted, most SG songs have no information about them, so the Genius feature won’t work, but for the groups that will work, iTunes cranks out some pretty cool playlists.? As more people use the new feature, the playlists should only get better, so all of you SG fans need to start using this so Apple will have more info about our music.
