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!

What a dreadful downgrade of iTunes 10.7.

Cover flow, search functionality, missing album arts in the list field, dj function, Genius hidden,...

I think Steve would turn himself in his grave if he would see this.

I am really angry!


Apple seems to be out of control, first with maps, Siri, ... and now iTunes as well.

The application that got Apple big in the past, when only iPod existed.

It is a shame!

Coverflow - the most overrated feature that only looks good in demos. Least functional and most resource intensive way of browsing your library.


I thought it was overrated too — until I downloaded iTunes 11. Now I sorely miss it when looking at playlists. Having that visual reference at the top of the screen was extremely helpful, and the new Artist List doesn't cut it because that view doesn't preserve the ORDER of your playlist.


I never used Cover Flow to NAVIGATE, but it absolutely ***** not having it as a visual reference for otherwise plain-text lists.


But don't worry — Apple will never bring it back. Everyone in this thread, don't worry your little heads. Apple knows best what you need, whether you agree or not. Don't question Apple. Only praise allowed.
