While the "popular ringtones" box is still shown, you don't have to see the ringtone bell next to songs in the store... you can turn those off in the View settings dialog.

What is wrong with you? Out of all things you could have a gripe against you picked ringtones. I love your comment. "it wastes valuable screen space". Valuable screen space?? What size is your monitor? Lets talk about the valuable space you are wasting posting this rediculous article. Not to mention the vast open space to the right of the song titles, but I guess that open sapce is ok with you. Why don't you go back to using Windows and leave us all alone. Say hi to Bill Gates for me. WOW! What is wrong with you? Out of all things you could have a gripe against you picked ringtones. I love your comment. “it wastes valuable screen space”.

It just doesn't make any sense to even mention those little bells! Why would this be a waste of valuable screen space? What else were you going to put there?? Completely agree with number 2!

I wish I could have the store only sell WHAT I WANT. Of course, that'd be a little self obsessed and whiney, so I guess I'll keep that thought to myself.
