The new feature Genius is a very useful tool when you do not want to go through your songs and pick songs that fit your mood. Instead it will use your selected song to create a playlist with sounds that have similar beats and moods. This new feature has just been ported to the Remote App by Apple.

Apple has updated their Remote application for the iPhone and iPod Touch to version 1.1 [App Store]. The free application adds remote control capabilities for both iTunes and your Apple TV through your local Wi-Fi network connection. For the Apple TV, it acts primarily as a media browser, allowing you to search, browse and playback both music and video.

Existing features includedl:

- Control the music on iTunes or Apple TV
- See the album artwork on your Remote
- Search your whole iTunes library
- Control your AirTunes speakers

The 1.1 update adds:

- Create Genius playlists
- Create and edit playlists in iTunes
