iTunes' Genius playlists and recommendations are a nice start, but MixZing is way out in front:
| Feature | MixZing | iTunes | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recommends songs automatically when you play a selection | Y | N | Gives you a great listening experience without having to do anything—just play a song and we do the rest! (Android only) |
| Your feedback improves future recommendations | Y | N | When you rate how well our recommendations fit your current mood or context, MixZing updates you with improved recommendations. |
| Rates recommendations automatically based on normal listening behavior | Y | N | By default, MixZing automatically rates a recommendation positively when you listen to most of it, and you can tell it to rate it negatively when you skip it—making it incredibly easy to continually improve your recommendations and build great playlists. (Android only) |
| Recommendations can be based on multiple songs | Y | N | MixZing gives far better results, since multiple songs give stronger guidance for recommendations, and the same song may appear in different playlists for different contexts, moods, and occasions. |
| Recognizes untagged or poorly tagged songs | Y | N | MixZing’s proprietary fuzzy logic identifies your songs even if they have missing or misspelled tags. |
| No personal information associated with your music collection | Y | N | iTunes requires that you establish your identity and provide a credit card; MixZing does not associate personally identifiable information with your data. |
| Works well with large music collections | Y | N | MixZing helps you manage large collections since it supports the same songs appearing in different combinations in different playlists. |
