It didn't do this before? Does genius only work with content sold on the ITMS? If so, that's fairly lame.

I'm pretty sure this is the case.

I've had issues with genius. You get off into alternative, most of my collection, it just won't do it. However, on what genius works for, it's fantastic!

Not unlikely they jumped the gun. News reports have been saying there were negotiations to get the Beatles on iTunes, but they stalled.

I concur. It is kind of funny actually that most of the stuff that stumps the Genius is iTunes purchases while the 200+ Christmas songs and I have no idea how much Big Band stuff I have in my library poses no problem.


Patience is a virtue of the weak for it makes them stand still long enough for the strong to crush them with ease.
