Until about a year ago, I was not much of a fan of iTunes, or anything Apple-related--much to my younger sister's dismay. I did give a try a few times, but hated relearning all the key codes that have taken me a couple generations to learn. However, after living so far from Western civilization, iTunes, and everything Apple, have become my life-source, so to speak--well, not strictly speaking at all, really. But I am most definitely am in love. &>
I do still have one peeve with iTunes though (besides not being compatible with WMA and protected WMA not being able to transfer to MP3...). I do not understand how they determine what should go in a Genius mix. I understand that basic music categories are quite broad. However, I have a bit of a hard time listening to a good mix of The Decemberists, Robert Francis, Coldplay, etc., and then randomly hear Mozart or Britney Spears. Mozart, I can almost understand, almost. But, Britney Spears? Huh.
When I first discovered this peeve, I had found Jonathan Clay mixed in with Madonna and Rihanna. I thought, then, that it was a glitch. I don't call myself an expert with music selection or iTunes for that matter. I imagine there must be some key word or code somewhere in the music artists file that labels them as something similar. I still have yet to figure out what it is though...
Until I can figure this out, or how to fix it, I'll have to be okay with spending extra time (like any crazy-working person) making my own mixes or deal with mixed levels of tempo. lol How lazy can I be or not be?
