customize the itunes music browser
When you are browsing music in iTunes there are three columns you can browse by: Genre, Artist, and Album. Unlike most tables in Mac applications, there is no way to determine what columns are shown, and you can't adjust the width of the columns, they all take up 1/3 of the space.
But if you don't like the Genre column and prefer to browse by just Artist and Album, there is a way to make the Genre column go away. Open up a terminal window and run the following command:
defaults write com.apple.itunes show-genre-when-browsing -bool FALSE
Once you do that, you'll need to quit itunes for the change to take effect.
If you change your mind and you want the Genre column back, run the command again and change the FALSE to TRUE.
