It did work good for me but then I have a lot of adult contemporary titles from '70's through today. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it even found a few recommendations for my classical music.

You don't mention speed at all, or system resources. I'm wondering if they've done much under the hood to make it work for those of us not lucky enough to have 2GB or RAM and a dual-core processor. How does it feel to you? Sluggish still? Thanks for the review. You don’t mention speed at all, or system resources.

I wish you could have the preference to deactivate the former and not the latter; instead you can only deactivate the playlists when the sidebar is going to be useless for most users and will always be present. Unfortunate. Otherwise, incrementally improved. The Genius sidebar is basically the MiniStore while Genius playlists are decently cool.
