Do you use iTunes Genius?

I love Genius. I use it on my computer to have easy background music, and I enjoy it on my iPod when I want to listen to songs of a certain mood.

But almost every time I go to someone else’s home, I find that they don’t have Genius enabled. I was at a party last night and we were trying to create a mix and I got a lecture about how Genius was allowing The Man to choose the music I like. Of course it is, but it’s a very convenient tool.

What are your thoughts on Genius playlists?
