Genius Toolbar

My apologies if this has been covered. I searched first and came up empty.

A couple of weeks ago, I updated my itunes to version 10. It replaced the genius toolbar with the ping toolbar. I'm not intending on using the ping toolbar, and thus closed it. Is there a way to bring the genius toolbar back? I know I can login to the store and look at my genius suggestions, but that is very much a pain compared to looking to my right and seeing songs I might want to download.

Thanks.

The Genius Sidebar is command+shift+G in my version of iTunes 10.0
Or View>"Show Genius Sidebar"

It may have changed or gotten removed in 10.1, I haven't downloaded the update yet.

Yeah. I have 10.1 and it's replaced by "show ping sidebar." Guess my option is to downgrade to 10.0.

Yeah, not to cool to get rid of it in favour of Ping, but it may just be a oversight,

Oddly, despite the Genius sidebar being gone, there is an indication that this may be an oversight instead of a replacement. For one, even though it is called the "Ping" sidebar, it is opened by clicking the "Genius" option in the "Genius" section in iTunes. Additionally, Apple's Web site still advertises the Genius Sidebar as being a feature in iTunes 10.
