SCO0167 - iTunes 8 Update [Extra! members only]

itunes
A new full release of iTunes from Apple is covered this week - iTunes 8.

ITunes 8 includes three major new features plus a host of minor tweaks and fixes to increase the functionality and capability of what is rapidly becoming the dominant digital media organiser and playback application. In this weeks show I cover:
  • Switching off Inline Store Arrows
  • Grid View
  • Grouping and Sorting in Grid View
  • Obtaining Album Art from iTunes, Amazon and Google
  • Configuring Album View
  • Turning on Genius
  • The Genius Sidebar
  • Creating a Genius Playlist
  • Burning a Playlist to CD
  • iTunes 8 Visualiser
  • Importing and Re-importing CDs
  • Changes to the Podcast Section
The command to switch off the iTunes Store arrows is:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE

To switch them back on, just re enter the command in Terminal and replace FALSE with TRUE
