Found this really cool little app for browsing your album art. Check it and download here:

For osx tiger only

Have been using it for months now!

#347638

Very cool! Now we need a Windows port

#347663

Yeah, I wish there was a Windows version. :(

#347673

Poke AndreasV in the ribs, he showed me this program and was considering porting it to Windows.

Hi,

I just found this program for mac. It looks very nice but I am on Windows PC, so I just wanted to ask if anyone know of a similar program for Windows.

The program "emulates" the feeling of browsing through your physical cd collection.

Thanks in advance

That looks freakin' awesome, can't say I've seen anything similar for Windows though. It'd be nice though ;)

#348133

humm, well, i'm a 3d coder..

i think i'd manage to create the inteface, the effects and so on, but not to read out the coverarts of the mp3s that are stored in itunes (btw, with 10GB music it's pretty slow to read ALL the covers ^^)

or ar the covers of the music in itunes saved anywhere with the mp3 that belongs to?

#348162

most are stored as a url within the xml file defining your library... however it is possible, yet cumbersome, to dl all the cover images and place within the album folder. i believe if you go this route, the image must be named "folder.jpg"

im sure someone knows the exact location of the 'metadata' which is found usually by searching amazon

#348168

from the coverflow features page:

  • 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

#348169

So you could possibly make a similar program? Would be great.

You don't have to name the image folder. In Itunes you can just drag and drop the cover.

wonderful effects !

@liquidplasmaflow

if AndreasV considering this - hope he is going to do ^^

Yes sorry.

I guess I was overexcited.

#348335

:o

I don't know what to say. Looks sweet!

#348338

One thing that is missing... apparently you cant select songs from the albums. Would be a nice added feature :).

Hope to see this realized.

#348363

could it possible to port it to windows and make it compatible with winamp / foobar / itunes ?

#348765

So is anyone working on a windows version or clone? :)

Damn... It's so freakin addictive.... I downloaded it and now I'm hardly opening my iTunes window !!!

This is way better way to listen to music, like old days where you would pop up CD/cassette in music system and listen... lol

#379307

Is anyone having problems with i-Cover? I can't even run it. Here's my error message:
