Can you turn the ministore arrows off in iT8.0? I can't see an option anymore.

I did notice the is feature come back and the option to remove it is definitely gone from preferences. I guess with Genius and them adding this, they are really trying to boost sales of iTunes official content.

I use the pref pane plugin Secrets, that makes the arrow point to your library instead of iTunes store, but even that is annoying as that makes the genre browser drop down from the top when you click arrows.

Back to the longer format of previous models but with a bigger portrait screem. (Hence the accelerometer) Improved size, 8gb and 16gb, at cheaper prices and a slightly more advanced UI.
 
Anyone else concerned with apples ever increasing malware in there products, a quote someone posted over on another forum:

I would have to point out that if Windows had scanned your mp3s and “suggested” you buy some new albums you “might like” off winTunes it would be the most invasive, blatent plugging for it’s own services EVER. When iTunes do it though (after trying to install Safari and MobileMe at the same time for no real reason) these people react as if Steve Jobs himself had hand picked some special edition pressings out for you and sent them to you in a giftbox.

I have a new product for you, and it’s called iRony.

New itunes stuff is great, but its abit rude how it is constantly trying to install mobile me and other stuff I dont want on my system, without my permission, I hoped the new itunes would have fixed this, but apparently not.
 
Tempted by the Ipod Touch 8Gb. Only have a 2Gb 2nd gen iPod Nano, but it isn't even full yet so i dunno. Just want the Touch for the internet and basically the iPhoneness without the phone function :p

Hi, I found this on a blog (would link but it has some inappropriate words)

1. Ensure iTunes is not open. Browse to the iTunes Application Data folder (C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes on XP, C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes on Vista, substituting the drive letter and the user profile name where necessary.
2. Backup and open the iTunesPrefs.xml with a half decent text editor (ie not Notepad, my personal preference is Notepad++)
3. Find the User Preferences key, and below the <dict> tag insert:
<key>show-genre-when-browsing</key>
<data>
AA==
</data>

to disable the genre column in the browser, and:
<key>show-store-arrow-links</key>
<data>
AA==
</data>

to disable the links to the store.
4. Start iTunes.

To get back either the genre column or the store links, just remove the respective key.

That's what you get for running Windows. Us OS X users get all that crap included when we buy the computer! :p

Just tried this and it worked for me, those arrows always seemed pointless.. I already have the song, I dont want to buy it again thanks.
 
Am I right in assuming that there is only one iPod Classic from now on?
Got an 80GB one but I really want a new one for some reason, mostly cause I need more space lol, could anyone tell me what exactly has changed with the new iPod other than more space?

I'm more concerned about this interview and how he looked in the keynote. I swear he isnt looking good, and his answers in the above video sometimes seemed sort and sweet. Not over excited as usual.

You talk like its your father. Would it really make much difference if Jobs snuffed it!:confused:
