Anybody tried the super-duper new "Genius" feature in iTunes 8?

When you're listening to a track you press the Genius button and it instantly builds a playlist based on the song you were playing. I pressed it while listening to "Venus" by Television and amongst the 25-track playlist was the Velvet Underground, Ramones, Clash, etc. No real surprises there. It also threw up "Underwear" by Pulp and "God's Cop" by Happy Mondays. ohmy.gif . Apple claim that it will get better and better as more people use it. Obviously it can only use songs in your library.

Another separate feature is that it will suggest songs from the iTunes store which you don't already have in your library based on the current song your listening to. That's good of them, eh? rolleyes.gif
