I never personally cared for the Genius sidebar in iTunes, but I know that a lot of people used it as a way to branch out into new bands and albums and who were therefore distressed when Apple decided to replace it with the Ping sidebar in iTunes 10.0.1.

Good news, though: early on Saturday, Apple decided to do an about face and bring the Genius features back to the sidebar, albeit with a slight rename: it’s now called the iTunes Sidebar and integrates both Genius and Ping data in one easy-to-access place.

Most of the sidebar seems dedicated to Genius recommendations (and all of the sidebar is dedicated to them if you haven’t signed up for a Ping account). Ping users will get a small breakdown of recent activity. Genius recommendations are now plucked on-the-fly as songs are recommended, while Ping users can like or post about a selected song from the sidebar.

What do you think? Glad to see the Genius sidebar back? Let us know in the comments.
