How Do I Remove Unused Genres in iTunes Genre List?

I'll definitely have to look into editing the "standard" genre list ... I assume that I'm in a tiny minority in this respect but I have exactly two genres that I use for all my music - "Popular" and "Classical" - indeed across my whole library I have just five (these two plus "Audiobook", "Radio Drama" and "Radio Documentary"). What I'd really like to do is have iTunes refuse to accept any other genres offered by Gracenote (for imported CDs) or via the metadata in purchased digital sources.

Thanks turingtest2 for this great suggestion. Sorry to be obtuse. How do I comment out the unwanted genres?

(I tried putting a slash / at the beginning and end of each line, but the iTunes wouldn't recognize the resulting file.)

Thanks so much!

You can surround multiple lines with /* and */ or, having made a backup, simply delete any unwanted lines. Note the file will normally be replaced when iTunes is next updated.

This is easy....create a playlist....then ADD TO PLAYLIST...in the PLAYLIST, rename the files....every other folcer and/or listing will now reflect the new GENRE.
