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.

Since you seem incapable of being anything other than rude and personal, and as you cannot fathom how Apple have buggered up CoverFlow, tell me...[A] How do you search for an artist/CD via Apple iTunes CoverFlow?
[B] How do you add artwork? Elegantly! (Not via the poxy paste one by one "Get Info" route that's lame) There's no simple contextual cut/copy/paste
[*] How do you go to fullscreen mode and browse that way.
To my mind Apple have crippled CoverFlow. I used to keep it open (still do with the real app) 24/7 and browse/play my CDs (selecting from over 15,000). Apple's version is now just little more than useless eye-candy - It's not even that anymore as it has recovered far less than 50% of my CD covers. It's so akward it will not get used by many people.
As with all Apple related softare I am familiar with the feedback option and use it when moved to do so.

I sure have a difficult time agreeing that Apple has buggered this up. I miss the swinging part of the animation, too, though Coverflow still works fine as a stand-alone app. What I am hoping for is:1. a full-scale iTunes visualizer based on Coverflow, which Apple can easily do;
2. A full-blown controller inside that visualizer;
3. A screen saver.
Since you seem fond of complaining, I hope you shared your unhappiness with APple, rather than merely airing it here.
