Product Description:

Don’t know about you, but I find browsing a list of album names somewhat uninspiring, to say the least. One of the big appeals of a physical album is the beautiful packaging and aesthetic appeal, something that’s sorely missed with the digital equivalent.

CoverFlow aims to bring that aesthetic appeal to your mp3 collection. It allows you to browse your albums complete with beautiful artwork pulled from any sources it can find, whether that’s buried in your song tags, collected via Synergy, or looked up on Amazon.

What's new in this version:

Auto-tracker mode added, to follow the currently playing iTunes song
Jump to Currently Playing Album added (Cmd-L)
Show Controls option to toggle UI controls visibility
iTunes remote controls added
Slider resizes to reflect window size
Smart Crash Reports added
Kanji etc are properly centered within the slider button
Album-grouping is now more forgiving
Mousewheel scrolling direction is reversed. Apologies to those who've gotten used to the 'wrong' way
'Sort by' button removed - it's functionality is now accessible through the View menu
Amazon searcher more reliable (strips things like "Disc Two")
Copy & Paste Artwork via the clipboard
Similarly named albums could occasionally get replaced when drag & dropping new artwork. Fixed.
Fixed jitters on two-fingered scroll pads
Fixed Cmd-Enter to append albums to the playlist
Fixed dealloc'd observer bug
No more crashes on non-Tiger machines, or Rage128s. CoverFlow still won't work on them, but a handy info box will tell you why.

Old Coverflow, and New iTunes - Version: 1.997, 9/16/2006 10:39AM PST

Does anyone know how to transfer all the carefully pulled together images in old Coverflow to the iTunes version? I realise that they are now compressed in a CoverFlow format, so where do I go from here.

Thanks

Congrats to you...

but...

Grrr....

Apple have really bug*ered this lovely app up!
No longer can you hunt for add artwork (unless you use GimmeSomeTune - even with GST you can't scan and paste your own CD covers as you could with Coverflow).

Where has the beautiful swinging animation gone?

I was hoping there would have been an option to make Coverflow an active embedded desktop option...no hope of that now.

Oh well, it's still better than the rubbish MS offering in media player...just.

Grrr.
