And who cares about that? I'm sure you know how to do it, so I won't explain myself, but get on it, I think it'd be kinda cool at least. just a lot of work, maybe if you had macros set up to quick add songs to custom categories, it'd be handy. hey mark, thanks for the tip

My problem with genres is that they are pigeon holes into which music doesn't always fit. Sure, classical is classical and blues is blues, but a lot of good music sits in between genres or completely defies a genre-based categorization. I mean, is it Alternative? Rock? Indie? Alternative Rock? Alternative Indie Rock? Post Alternative Indie Rock? Apple, please restore the "Hide Genre when browsing" option. Please! Thanks.

I wouldn't be so critical of iTunes as regards the genre. If it was possible to specify more than one genre per album/artist and was consistently implemented, it would've been the "genius" of yesteryear. I wish genius was better, do I have to use it for it to improve, or can I rely on other people using it for it to improve? Pity Moodlogic for the PC died, same idea, but great. Thanks, again!

It is very hard to go random or eureka with iTunes, therefore sometimes hard to put together a truly outstanding playlist.. sometimes I just sin the dial - which i know is very like shuffling, but it gives me a place to start.
