Unfortunately, Mr. Freeman's algorithm for creating the signature is not suited to those of us will large iTunes libraries. The largest number of songs it can sample is 100, and I have approximately 4,000. Also, it only evaluates artist and album, however, the most commonly used categorization for iTunes users is genre, which is how we build our playlists. Lastly, it ignores the fact that today's iTunes libraries contain far more than just music; I have audiobooks, video files, and podcasts on three different topics. His algorithm can't possibly discount for Neil Gaiman's short stories, vintage episodes of SNL and economics lectures from Purdue.

Pardon my duh, I wrote the previous comment prior to caffeine consumption. I should have noted that modifying the algorithm to examine by genre instead of album or artist will by definition discount the podcasts, audiobooks and video files. Next time I'll keep my fingers still until the coffee finishes brewing.
