Google Instant Mix Just Got Better, But Is It A Genius?

Google announced its new beta music service, "Google Music", at I/O 2011 last month. The service, as it stands right now, is basically just cloud storage for all your music files that users can access through the web app. Users can stream their cloud-based music libraries to any device via a web browser. It even technically works on iOS, though the experience (especially on Safari) is pretty clunky. It's also still missing discovery and purchasing power, though there's no doubt that these features are on the way. After all, this is Google, and iTunes is heading to the iCloud. In the meantime, Google is quietly unveiling the features to its music service, building a full-scale iTunes competitor piece-by-piece (or maybe hastily, it depends who you ask). And yesterday, Google Research officially congratulated itself for making some drastic improvements to "Instant Mix" -- the playlist generator that is getting closer to being Google's equivalent of iTunes Genius.
