I hate, hate, hate, the arrows that appear next to tracks in iTunes. I'm sure someone, somewhere, finds them extremely helpful. I see them as a horrible mark on the clean UI of iTunes.
In iTunes 7 you could turn those annoying little guys off from within the preferences. With the release of iTunes 8, the arrow appears next to the song you're listening too and there isn't a way within the preferences to turn it off.
Thankfully, Rob Griffiths at Mac OS X Hints has posted a terminal tip to remove the horrid little guy. I tried the tip and it works perfectly. He even includes the Terminal command to bring the arrow back in case you go criminally insane.
Launch the Terminal and type in the information below:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE
To restore the arrows, check out the rest of the tip at Mac OS X Hints.

I'm shocked people find this tiny little arrow that big of a deal.
