Without doing any research on the older Nanos, you might want to see if there's a firmware update for the device.

Sadly there isn't a firmware update. I think iPod Touch and iPhone can use it since they have wi-fi Internet connections but then again how hard would it be for iTunes to send to info from my connected iPod instead of my library.

They haven;t included it in anything other than the iPhone/Touch because they wanna sell those things.

Those greedy bastards!

Ok, I'm confused-- I tried it and it seemed like nothing special. Am I missing something?

I click on the song and then click the genius button and then it gives me a list of song similar to it. That's it right or is there more?

This really doesn't seem that amazing to me since I already know what of my music is like my other music and if it's someone that I have a lot of songs of (which there are quite a few artists I have multiple albums of) it just gives me a list with a lot of that artist and a few similar ones.

Unless I'm missing something (and I'm sure I am), it just seems like I could sort my music by genre and get the same effect.

I know this is a little bit of a late post, but has anyone else noticed that the genius playlists sometimes cut to the next song early?
