4 years ago i had a first iTunes terminal tipp, here is a round up (all terminal tipps require Mac OS X):
Invert the iTunes Store links in the list
The littler arrows can either point to the iTunes store or to the same artist or album in your library. Invert their behavior to let them point to your files instead of the store:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES
Undo this with
defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool NO
Disable them with
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -boolean FALSE
Enable them with
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -boolean TRUE
Restore the horizontal stoplight
Again, Apple messes with it’s own UI guidelines. To restore sanity, use
defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -boolean TRUE
Reenable the vertical layout introduced with iTunes 10 through
defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -boolean FALSE
Enable half-star ratings
The following will let you rate your songs with half-star ratings (i.e 3.5 stars):
defaults write com.apple.iTunes allow-half-stars -bool TRUE
If you don’t like the fact, that the half-star ratings will round on any i* device, turn it off again:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes allow-half-stars -bool FALSE
