Where is genius on new iTunes 11 to make suggestions from iTunes store

Just like Sgt Nobby said, if you switch your music view to Albums or Artists, there should be a button on the right of the screen which says 'In the Store'. It will give you top songs and top albums for that artist and also recommended songs from other artists. 🙂

However for this button to appear, you have to be signed in to the iTunes store and have the option 'Share details about your library with Apple' ticked in the Store Preferences (Go to iTunes Preferences > Store). Tested in iTunes 11.

There may be other ways, but one is to hover your cursor over a track and click the arrow that will appear. Among the options will be to show Genius Suggestions and to create a Genius Playlist.

Also no more setting to search for duplicates in my playlist anymore in iTunes 11 either.

Apple has said in the last day or so that feature will be restored in an upcoming update.

Regards.

Creating a genius playlist just makes a list from your OWNED music, I want suggestions for songs TO buy, not from what I've already bought. (Similar to "Listeners Also Bought") Choosing to "Start Genius" seems like a futile option as I do not see what changes.

If you click on View, Enable Sidebar Then the Genius and genius mixes from your music will show in the left hand pane as per itunes 10

I can't even find view anymore but it sounds like it's like the thing RTRandy and I have been mentioning over and over again. It's not the genius we are looking for. We want to BUY songs... I'm happy you're trying to help just please read what we are typing...

By the way RTRandy, you can go to the iTunes store, home, and the "Recommended for You" Quick link. It's similar but still a giant inconvenience.

Edit: 10 Minutes later, found "view".

I have the sidebar enabled and can see the Genius Mixes menu item under the Genius heading.

When selected it shows generally categories of music mixes that can be selected from Album covers.

Howerer, I cannot figure out how to display the the song lists under each.

It seems that with iTunes 11, the song list in the Genius Mixes are no longer shown.

I can make a Genius mix from one song by using the mouse. However, once again the genius list of songs is no longer shown. It just goes from song to song invisibly.

I upgraded from Snow Leaopard to Mountain Lion, skipping Lion. I don't know if this is the reason but I sure do not see itunes work the way it used to with Genius lists.

Im itunes Store there is a link under Quick Links on the right of the home page. When clicked it takes you to a page called Genius Recomendations and three tabs to see for Music, Movies and TV Shows.

Not as convenient as in itunes 10 but is this what you meant.

I can't see a "recommended for you" quick link on the home page. Lots of other quick links but nothing about Genius or Recommended for You. Apple is really missing the boat on suggestively selling to old fogies like me.

Wait! D'oh! Found it. I was on the Music page and not the Home page.

I had exactly the same problem, I found a way to do it, but its not as straightforward as before. If you click on the song you are enjoying, change the view to 'Grid' or 'Artist list'.

If you then click on the song you are listening to, or the album cover it will give you an option for 'In the Store'. If you click on that it will give you 'Top songs', 'Top albums' and 'recommended songs'.

Click on 'recommended songs' for similar songs from the Itunes store. Agreed, its not as easy as it used to be when you had a simple side bar on the right hand side in the previous version of Itunes, but this works for me 😎

I was very frustrated trying to greate genius playlist's under Itunes 11

It turnes out that the option to create genius playlist is NOT available using the Songs view in Itunes

Change to Albums or Artists choose your song and create genius playlist now becomes avaliable

when you right click the song.

Why it does not work in the Songs view just does not make sense to me.

I hope this helps it took me a long time to find this out.

Thanks dude. Great work.

The only way I've been able to figure out to see the list of songs in the Genius mix so far has been to start playing it and then look at the "Up Next" list

I'm annoyed by the same fact that Genius does no longer make suggestions from the iTunes store , only from your own library. Also I did most of my music purchases in the past based on the Genius store suggestions. My music purchases have since iTune 11 dropped significantly . Can't understand the business idea behind this change in the Genius behaviour !
