How to Make Genius Playlists in iTunes
iTunes Genius function has revolutionized the way you create musical playlists. iTunes can recognize every song for its musical components and group similar songs together automatically into a playlist. If you like songs with strong lead guitar, or driving bass lines, you can easily make a playlist of all your songs that feature those aspects. With iTunes Genius you can make sure that every song on your playlist goes together.

Tips & Warnings
If you do not like the songs Genius chose, you can click refresh to try again. However, if you do not have a lot of songs in that genre genius will likely return with the same results.
iTunes can only create genius playlists from songs that it recognizes. You can not create a playlist with your own music.
