Yes. If this is as awesome as Genius for music or Netflix recommendations or Amazon recommendations, I will discover that my enjoyment of Doctor Who may mean I might enjoy other episodes of Doctor Who or other television shows featuring Jon Pertwee or Christopher Eccleston.
Also, my enjoyment of certain documentaries means that I may like other documentaries!
Pandora uses that "music DNA" that actually gets you songs that are similar to the song you're listening to.
Genius just uses stuff other people bought so you either end up (like in this example) with the other songs on the album or by the artist or if the song is 'popular' you just get a stream of other popular crap.
I think I've used it a total of three times. I got one maybe two songs through the recommendations. I mostly still end up listing to pandora and just getting stuff from there.
@tande04: I agree - I turned off the Genius database (and deleted it) because it only ever had recommendations on my most popular music options and what I truly wanted was requests based on the lesser-known titles. That and the database for it was going to require a secondary hard drive of it's own. Whatever "genius" came up with this concept probably needs to go back to school.
Using an online tool to search for suggestions makes more sense since the ridiculous large database would be central rather than having miniature versions on every desktop in America.
