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.

Here are some key features of "CoverFlow":
A beautiful environment for browsing & launching your albums from
Album art can be pulled from mp3 tags, Synergy, Clutter or Amazon
If CoverFlow still doesn’t find the artwork you want, simply drag & drop an image.

What's New:
Removed the tiresome expiry date
Fixed image loading from AAC files on intel
Added basic support for the Apple Remote
Fixed dumb error that prevented the window from reopening once closed
Wikipedia search added to the search engine list
Updated French & Chinese localizations, added Spanish
Added Jasper Hauser's purty icon.

Requirements:
A decent graphics card – anything better than a Rage128 will run, but low memory cards may start to choke with large album collections
An iTunes-based music collection.
