iTunes 8 – Hide Genre in browser

Posted in Geeky at 9:53 by djn

I’ve just updated my iTunes to version 8 on both my Vista and Mac. Unfortunately apple has decided to remove the option to hide the genres while browsing.

Luckily I found these pages:

Ocram’s Blog » Blog Archive » iTunes 8 – Hide Genre in browser/iTunes store links on Windows

And:

macosxhints.com – Disable the Genre column in the iTunes 8 Browser

    For MAc:

    1. Open Terminal
    2. Enter this command and then hit Enter:

    defaults write com.apple.itunes show-genre-when-browsing -bool FALSE

    3. Close and reopen iTunes

    Obviously, you can reverse these changes with the following command:

    defaults write com.apple.itunes show-genre-when-browsing -bool TRUE
