Coverflow = gimmick, pure and simple. Another example of Apple’s marketing genius. Say what you will about the company and its’ product, they know how to advertise and promote better then anyone. Apple has convinced people that you might want to browse by cover art.
There was a thread on iLounge.com a few weeks back and comsone asked if you actually used cover art. Fully 90% of the replies all said “I just use it to show people it can do it…”.
Exactly…
Not even when people had actual ALBUMS did they browse by the covers. If you had them nicely stored on a shelf near your system, you would read the splines before you would remove album > from shelf to look at the cover (or track list). Of course if you used milk crates to hold your albums you probably did browse by “cover art”.
