Some .mp3 music not Genius Compatible

I run iTunes (v. 12.13.7.1) using Windows 11. I have a large .mp3 music collection. My music library originated with CD’s that I had collected over the years; more recently from digital downloads – mostly

Amazon.

I play the music on my iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 18.5).

I enjoy creating Genius playlists. I have discovered that iTunes Genius does not

recognize some of my music; even some recently published music; despite

updating Genius

Is there any way to determine which .mp3

downloads will be Genius compatible? I

would prefer not to purchase non-Genius compatible music.

Is there any way (i.e. third party software) to

create Genius compatibility with the non-compatible .mp3 files?

Windows, Windows 10

I don't think so. I don't think it is the format of the download that is the issue here. It is more likely an issue with the Genius algorithm and the volume of libraries where that same track has been submitted.

Again, I don't think so.
