First thing I noticed when I went back to list view (which isn't even list view anymore, not sure what the obsession with album artwork is).
They are so ugly and I don't purchase iTunes music, so I don't want to have links everywhere to the store.

*edit* Just saw that you can remove the artwork in list view in view menu

Yeah, I cannot find a way either, this must be a "feature" of the moronic genius in itunes.

I have genius turned off and they still show up...
There was an option to disable them in 7.7. :mad:

So this works with Mac OS, but what about Windows? :confused:

Where do you see these? I don't see anything that looks like that on my iTunes.

List view looks exactly the same as it did in iTunes 7.7.1. I don't know what you're seeing.

If you tick 'Disable: iTunes Store' in the parental preferences then the arrows go away.

However you can't browse the iTunes store then obviously. Since I rarely do I can live with turning it on manually when required.

open terminal, and paste - defaults write com.apple.itunes show-genre-when-browsing -bool FALSE

then restart itunes.

to remove the links to the music store put - defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE

Yeah, thanks a ton. Can the same be applied to removing the Genius sidebar eyesore?

EDIT: for cripe's-sake, its that damn little button next to the Genius button. Gaack, iTunes is still my favorite media player, but it is becoming too much like winamp circa 2002 for me. a bit bloated and changing too often. For example, I just discovered some indecipherable "Cache" folder inside the Album Artwork folder. Previous to that I had been wondering where my 300 mg of disk space had disappeared to.

There's still a list view, that's the only view I use. Try clicking the triangle next to the top of the artwork column. ;)

EDIT: My bad, you figured it out already.
