cryptique Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 How do they know? Is this an example of technology working for us or just an invasion of my privacy?Yes. This doesn't usually bother me too much, but if you happen to search for something that's not part of your usual listening patterns, they start recommending all this other similar stuff you're just not interested in. You can fix that, but it's not the most obvious process sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

isadorah Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 ...if you happen to search for something that's not part of your usual listening patterns, they start recommending all this other similar stuff you're just not interested in. this happens to me in itunes all the time. that's the only time i buy on itunes, when i am buying bad music and usually only one song. i have the worst taste according to the itunes recommendation engine.
