Genius Sidebar(need it back!!!)

Genius Mixes and Genius Playlists are still present as features,

It's the Genius Sidebar that is missing.

Matt

I know it's only a small consolation, but you can go to the itunes store and click "genius recommendations" and it will recommend songs for you based on what music you have/bought.

It's another vote from me too though, I want the sidebar back.

I want my Genius Sidebar baaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!! I can't say this with enough emphasis. The remaining genius features are useful but the utility of the sidebar for finding music to suit my taste was a real feature, not just a bells and whistles thing. Removal of the sidebar to replace it with Ping is something you wouldn't see in the PC world, this is a classic Apple move.

Gimme back my sidebar Apple!

They will not do so until you let them know you want it (and you are not addressing Apple in this user-to-user forum).

Chris-

I think you may be invisible to most of the folks with less than 20 posts. Very strange glitch in the forums.

I posted my feedback from another email (it's like getting to vote twice)

I said "PING this Apple"
Ping is the dumbest thing in the world.

the second dumbest thing is Genius

One more desperate vote for the Genius Sidebar as well as the little arrows (now replaced by Ping) in the song name that would either take you to the music store or if you option + click would bring up more of the same from your own library.

Boy,am I sorry I downloaded the new version of itunes and lost Genius. I have no use for this Ping thing and already really miss Genius. Guess I will have to start looking for alternatives to itunes and spending more time on Pandora than I do on itunes. I really relied on Genius to help me find music that I liked. I must say that as a PC user, I am now scratching my head about all the hoopla about Apple being so much nice and more user-friendly than PCs. Doing away with a feature of a product without so much as an explanation is not consumer-friendly as far as I'm concerned. It wasn't until I found this forum that I realized that there was no more Genius and that it was not that my installation was buggy. Especially since there is still something called "Genius" in the sidebar. But now it's just some broken thing that doesn't do anything. Looks poorly thought out -- Apple, I hope you're listening. I'm a PC and I did not find this experience fun at all.

Ya' think?

Apple, I hope you're listening.

Really now? Really?

A someone pointed out to me, we need to tell Apple what we want, not each other. I looked for a feedback link and never found one. Talk to Apple...

Yes. Please bring it back-- I posted a similar topic the other day.. APPLE-- LISTEN TO YOUR FAITHFUL CUSTOMERS!

Bang your head against the wall a few more times... I think its working!

I sent feeback. Others should do the same. If there's no solution there's no point in just telling each other how much we hate it. We have to tell Papa.
