Genius - How does it work and why doesn't it often?
This is just to ask fellow users to bring some light in how Genius works, and help the builders/designers to get it better. I often find some strange anamolies in the results, and I just would like to know what could be behind those...
So for starters: The Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Not the most populair Beatles song, but still probably on the iPods and iPhones of thousands of users. So how come it won't come up with a possible playlist? Which tags are used? Does it have to do with the fact that songs are only officially available since a month or so? Why doesn't it take songs from the same period or style anyway, using the tags? Why do other Beatles songs come up with results? Why doesn't it take other songs from the same album, as that always should "fit"?
