Hi Gordon,
This issue of turning off iTunes Store recommendations is a couple of
days old, but I never managed to send off my draft reply about Simon's
response, so I'm posting now.
Simon was making a very good suggestion about viewing the settings for
your iTunes account. If you are signed into your iTunes Store account
(as you have to be in order to make purchases), you can either choose
the "View my account" option under the Store menu on the iTunes menu
bar or, if you already have the iTunes Store selected in your sources
table, you can use item chooser menu to go to the "View my iTunes
Store account" button and press it with VO-Space. If you navigate to
the HTML area after giving your password, you'll be able to review
your account information, purchase history, etc. VO-Down arrow to
"Recommendations" and check whether you setting is to have
recommendations turned on or off. There's a "Manage Recommendations"
button you can press to change your options.
Cheers,
Esther

Hello, I have also started receiving adverts when I land on the
"Itunes sttore" icon in the source menu. I've just gone into "view
my account", and I found that I had "recommendations" turned on. So
I turned them off. Maybe that's what you need to do.
You turned what off, sorry? Actually though, I think my head must
have been somewhere different yesterday because today when I come
back to play with this, I am able to navigate the store as I used
too, despite the ads being a little irritating.
Today I'm not seeing this as quite such a problem, although a minor
irritation.
To be absolutely fair, you can still go to the search text and
search from there. And again, to be absolutely fair, although this
was not happening for me yesterday, it's actually quite nice now
once you get passed all the ads. Certainly, the album search is far
better than I remember it previously.
So I think I did the right thing yesterday by just walking away for
a while. Today this doesn't look to be such a major issue.
