Terminal Tips: Modify iTunes arrow links

To completly disable links use:

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

For those of us not fortunate enough to own a Mac yet, is there a way to do this in Windows?

that's incredibly useful, thank you.

cool tip!
just out of curiosity- is there a way to link the arrow to where the file is exactly located in the finder? i have all my songs in a separate bulk MP3 folder, and when dealing with duplicates, rather than left clicking a song to show in finder there should be an easier and quicker way to get to it....

if one were to apply this trick, then holding down option and clicking will take you to the iTS.

Doing it over the preferences will remove the arrows altogether. Doing it via terminal will keep the arrows but they will point to your library. So when you click the arrow when hearing a song by a certain artist, you can see what other songs you have by the same artist instead of seeing what songs iTunes offers by this artist.

Why do this when you can go into iTunes, Preferences and then under General uncheck 'show (->) Links to iTunes Store' ?

Surely that is easier than using the Terminal command, and quicker too!

That's probably the most useful tip for iTunes I've ever read, thanks!

Secrets.prefpane does the job nicely

Of course, it's probably useful to mention that you can get the same action without changing anything by holding Command when clicking those arrows. I happened to notice the terminal command talks about inverting the links, which led me to believe there was a secondary action that was triggered when a modifier key was held down. I'm guessing if you apply this modification, then that holding Command and clicking the arrow will take you to the iTunes store.
