Disable elastic (rubber band) scrolling in iTunes

A recent hint described how to disable elastic scrolling in many Lion applications. You can disable this effect in iTunes alone by setting the hidden preference "disable-elastic-scrolling".

To turn off elastic scrolling in iTunes, enter this in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes disable-elastic-scroll -bool YES

To turn it back on:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes disable-elastic-scroll -bool NO

To delete the preference:

defaults delete com.apple.iTunes disable-elastic-scroll

I have included this option in the latest version of my AppleScript Change Hidden iTunes Preferences.


[kirkmc adds: I find it interesting that this key uses the term "elastic" and the one in the previous hint uses "Rubberbanding." Which means that I had to make the title of this hint include both...]
