Siri can't create a genius playlist?

I have an iPhone 5S on Verizon with iOS 7.0.4.
Whenever I ask Siri to create a genius playlist based on the current song, it doesn't work. I'll ask Siri to "Play more songs like this" or "genius" and Siri will say that it is playing more songs like the current song, but it never creates the genius list. If I manually create the playlist via the Music app, I don't have a problem. Anyone else have this problem too? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Chaiya

I've had the same problem since having my 4S on AT&T and now on my 5. Siri responds with "playing similar songs" but the previous playlist or shuffle keeps going. This used to work but I'm not sure which iOS update broke it.

  • Can't create a Genius Playlist from most 2011 songs.

    For some reason, I cant seem to make a Genius Playlist from what seems like any song bought in the latter half of 2011.  Is anyone else having this same problem? Any help is appreciated.

  • ITunes 11: How to create a genius playlist without saving it?

    In iTunes 11, how can I create a genius playlist without saving it? This was possible in iTunes 10; I could select a song, hit the Genius button to create a genius playlist based off that song, then if I wanted to, I could click a "Save" button to save the playlist. Otherwise, by default the genius playlist would be overwritten the next time I chose "genius" on a different song.

    In the "carrot menu" next to each song, I see an option to "Start Genius."
    When I select that, the list of songs in my Up Next list changes, but there's no "real place" to see the Genius List like the Genius list in the previous version of iTunes. If you select this from a song that's not currently playing, it will start to play (as in the prev itunes).
    I echo your frustration here. So many things seem to be half-way between one model and another.

  • Can I move my external drive library in order to create a Genius playlist?

    Our iTunes library is stored on an external hard drive, and the computer we use it with is a desktop G3 (stop laughing) running OSX 10.3.9 (OK, really, stop laughing) and the latest version of iTunes I can use with that, iTunes 7 (end of comedy routine). Of course, this is the wife's computer which she only uses for email & internet, so it hasn't been a problem so far.
    I would like to create some Genius playlists for that library utilizing my laptop which has 10.5.6 and iTunes 8.0.2.
    Is it possible for my to connect the hard drive to my laptop and access that library in my laptop's iTunes for the purpose of creating some Genius playlists that would then be available back on the G3? It would be sweet if this wouldn't affect the laptop's small library stored on it's internal hard drive and in the default iTunes directory as well.
    Thanks!

    Actually you can store just some, but you always have to remember to option+drag in the future for those media:

  • How many songs needed to create a Genius playlist?

    I was wondering if there is any rule of thumb about how many songs I would need on my iphone to create a Genius playlist. I currently have 1566 songs, but I ususally get the same old message about not having enough songs to create a list. I have many similar artists--sometimes more than one album by that artist, but it's rare that I can get Genius to work. I do occasionally get a list.
    iPhone 5 with iOS 7
    Related question--have just started playing around with the radio on iOS 7, but I haven't found an artist yet that lets me create a station. I assume they have very few artists signed up so far? Can't give up Pandora yet!

    have you tried connecting it to itunes?  i know when you sync it to itunes sometimes it downloads genius information...
    i have 2355 songs on my itunes.

  • Genius on iPhone only displays "This song doesn't have enough related songs to create a Genius Playlist"?

    I have 30 days worth of music on my (128 GB) iPhone and it displays the message "This song doesn't have enough related songs to create a Genius Playlist" for even the most popular Beatles tracks. My iTunes library will create Genius playlists with no problem at all, but my phone will not. The only thing I can think of is that I updated Genius after actually putting the music on the phone, but I have turned Genius off/on again on the phone itself to encourage results to be reestablished and yet still nothing. I have also synched the iPhone multiple times since.
    I really do not want to remove and re-add 12,000 (75 GB worth) songs from my iPhone just to get some valid Genius results. Does anyone have a solution?

    It is like the message says. You do not have enough similar songs for Genius to work.

  • How can I have both genius playlist and regular playlist on my new 160g ipod classic. The list of songs are there, but when I click playlist, I only get the genius playlists.

    How can I have both genius playlists and regular playlists available on my new 160g classic ipod. I can see my entire song list, but no playlist other than the 3 genius playlist I just made.  Also how can I delete a genius playlist. Made the same playlist twice by mistake. Thanks.

    This was not a simple task.  Got it handled.  Had to call Apple support. Apparently, the 160g only syncs the genius playlist.  You have to go in and "tell it" to sync the entire playlist as well as the genius playlists. There is also an option for only syscing certain songs. On itunes, there is two sections; one for the stuff that is synced on your ipod and another separate list for the stuff in your library!  This is exciting for me as I am not computer savvy to say the least. 

  • How can I create a smart playlist of least played complete albums?

    Hi,
    How can I create a smart playlist of least played complete albums? (of a specific genre, say jazz)
    What I would like to do is to have a playlist that will always automatically pull the least played albums of a specific genre (ideally, but not necessarily, with a random album play within that playlist) Hope you are getting the concept!
    Thank you for any idea!
    Daniel
    p.s. there have been solutions for earlier versions of iTunes, none working with iTunes 10 apparently

    As you say, you can't access the Gapless property in a smart playlist rule.
    The obvious way that comes to mind would be to create another playlist with stuff to exclude from your final list and put the gapless tracks and anything else that won't filter out easily into it.
    Yes you say but I have oodles of gapless tracks and I don't want to gather them up by hand.
    OK, so you'll need a script. Here is one I've just created for the purpose: GaplessToPlaylist

  • I have to be on wifi to create a genius playlist?

    i have different playlists on each of my devices. Today I tried to create a genius playlist from a song and first my iPhone froze up, then after closing the music app all of my playlist I had in my phone disappeared and all of my playlista from other devices loaded, then I got a message to connect to wifi to create a playlist. It then created a playlist, but after I turned off wifi the playlist disappeared. Tried it all again, only this time I got a message that rhere were not any songs that matched the song that I wanted to match.

    Hi CFWeatherman,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communiites. 
    It sounds like you are not getting iTunes Match playlists when you are not connected to Wi-Fi. You do need an internet connection. See the following  from the iTunes Match troubleshooting article:
    If you're using  an iOS device and aren't on a Wi-Fi network, turn on 3G cellular data for iTunes Match. Fees might be associated with downloading over cellular networks; contact your wireless carrier for details. 
    For more information and clarification, see the article:

  • Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to...

    Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to play one after the other on your iPod? I want to combine podcasts of the same topic in a smart playlist. When I tried to do this I chose smart playlist, album starts with, and then did it again for each podcast I wanted. That didn't work. If it can be done how do you do it?
    I have a fifth generation iPod which is always updated to the latest as well as the itunes.

    Say for example I want to put different car related podcasts in one smart playlist. Car related podcasts such as Wall Street Journal Car Cast and NPR Car Talk. Can it be done and if so how?

  • Can't create a smart playlist of podcasts in iOS 7?

    I've got to iPhone 4Ss, one on iOS 6, the other on iOS 7. On the iOS6 device, I have created a Smart Playlist that contains my podcast subscriptions for the last two weeks. This playlist is the major use of my iPhone. However, on the iOS 7 device, The Recent Podcast playlist is there in the Music app, but it is empty. Is iOS 7 forcing me to listen to podcasts only through the useless Podcasts app?

  • How do I create a genius playlist while playing a song on iPhone?

    I feel like I must be missing something so simple.
    I'm playing an album. While a song is on, I decide I'd like a genius mix based on that song. What do I press?
    (Note: I mean without going to the "genius" nor the "playlist" tab on the bottom (and then selecting the genius playlist and then having to find the song again - that's annoying).
    Thanks.

  • How to create new genius playlists from existing music in library?

    I tried the genius button for creating lists from existing music in my library. The problem is that it continues to show the first list created no matter what song I highlight then hit the genius button. Genius works fine for creating lists I can purchase online, but not new ones from my own music.

    This is the iTunes for Mac forum.
    As you are running Windows you will probably get a better response from posting in the iTunes for Windows forum:

  • Can I create a smart playlist based on # of tracks?

    One hit wonders!
    I have a lot of single tracks by artists and would like to create a playlist of these. There doesn't seem to be a sort option based on the # of tracks, so I'm not sure how to proceed.
    Basically, i want to identify all the artists with only 1, 2 or "x" # of tracks in my library, then build my best one-hit wonder playlist.
    I thank you! Along with Kajagoogoo, Toni Basil and Flock of Seagulls.

    SERIOUSLY!!!  I was pretty shocked when I realized iTunes DJ isn't on my iPhone.  It seems like it should be, seeing as 1) it's one of the main perks/rewards of going through the hassle of rating all your songs, and 2) for many people (including myself) most music listening time is spent on their iDevices (listening in the car, at work, etc.).  So the fact that it's not there to be utilized is pretty weird and slightly upsetting.  Also the DJ mix should sync between iDevice and computer so you can continue listening to the same list going to and from home.
