Coverflow goes Manual.
seriously?
(click it.)

Wow, almost as useless as cover flow itself, although at least this could have some artistic value being hung in your home.  Seriously, I can’t see the value of cover flow in iTunes.  Does anyone actually use this?  I have 5,000 albums and I’m going to scroll through them by cover to find the one I want to listen to?  I know it looks nice, but outside of my iPhone I have never, ever found this an efficient or logical way to navigate my music.
I love good design, but good design is only useful if there’s useful functionality attached to it.
