We want Cover Flow back in iTunes

After updating my iTunes I saw the new interface and I thought, ok, a new way to use iTunes. Some nice features, in the GUI. But than I got a shock:

No coverflow anymore??
No option to enable coverflow??

I don't have so much albums in my library, the most of them a "single" songs. So one Album contains one song. For me the album view is not so important as the song and playlist view.

And here its not possible anymore to go through the library like on a jukebox? Once Cover Flow was that "killer feature" of iTunes. And now its gone?

Grabbing in a list like in the older days? That's a step backward!

Apple, please bring back coverflow to iTunes in the next update!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Wow I cant believe Apple is deleting large 20-page topics which criticise iTunes 11 (as Mr. Eeee pointed out).

Censorship is always the first line of defense for governments who feel they are losing control of bad situations of their own making. I suppose corporations are no different, though in my heart I always believed Apple was and that they valued the opinions of their users. Even with the best of intentions and talented people at the helm, corporations can still make mistakes. Dealing with success is easy, but a true test of character is how you deal with failure. Hopefully Apple will acknowledge the mistakes made in iTunes 11, and make it right.

For me personally, Coverflow was iTunes. It's what set it apart from other music players. It looked cool and classy in true Apple spirit. Now iTunes is flat and boring, and I'm going back to 10.7 until Apple passes the test of character and does the right thing by us.

Maps debacle in iOS6, no Cover Flow in iTunes 11. What is going on at Apple?

I agree with the above, Cover Flow, though perhaps not a killer feature functionality-wise, was a delicious piece of eye candy that always drew me back to iTunes. Without Cover Flow iTunes 11 feels flat and boring. Period.
