Sorry, Chris, but the album cover display and the ability to slip through your ablums to find the image that evokes the mood and memory-- and takes you to that song-- that was what the LP had that made it the dominate form of music distribution for over sixty years.
CoverFlow took the place of a a large set of shelves, but let us thumb through the albums in much the same way, the image seen in passing making us stop, go back, and to remember.
That's what was lost. That's the reason there are several people looking at new systems for those working in music, motion picture, and television, too.
That's the reason the budget guys are getting to go with the cheapest laptops and desktops available. Apple used to be worth the extra money, and now many of us cannot recommend iTunes as a music tool, and Apple's failure to respond to the uers makes disposible cheap off brands look more attractive.
Apple turned their back on the guys who bought the twenty seven inch screens, the MacBook with the Retina display, and views our multi thousand dollar investment in top notch Apple as less worth their attention than pre-teen iPhone users who wheedle their parnents into the latest toy.
Kids who have no loyalty to Apple, just to being trendy.
And the rest of us were told to walk east until our hat floats.
