Deleting genres from iTunes’ pull-down menu

Last updated: May 12, 2021 7:21 pm UTC
By Jerrod H.

Q: Is it possible to delete unwanted genres from iTunes’ pull-down genre selection menu? I currently have 51 genres in this list, but I only use a small set of them. Can this list be reduced? Some of them I want to remove are simply misspellings that I’ve done before (Clasical, Harcore), but others are genres I simply have no interest in.

Thanks!

– Chandler

A: The current versions of iTunes remove any genre from the list for which there are no songs currently in your library. Thus, your misspelled genres should disappear from the list as soon as you fix the songs that belong to them in your Music Library.

However, the genres which come standard in iTunes’ list cannot be edited out.
