CoverFlow - Browse Your Music Visually

The act of browsing digital music is simply missing something these days. Our minds work in a visual way, and scrolling through lists of text-based information is simply lacking a visceral experience.

 

Mac users have an option, though, and it's called CoverFlow. CoverFlow puts your albums into stacks that you can browse through quickly, and get an immediate sense of whether you'd like to listen to a given album based on the cover art for it. The experience is very slick - it reminds me quite a bit of Front Row. It really must be seen to be understood. Luckily, there's a video of how it works right on CoverFlow's front page.
