Where's cover flow in ios7?

What happened to the beautiful cover flow design of records in music in iOS7? Gone, it seems!!! Please bring it back as what we have now in iOS7 is, at best, nothing more than mediocre.

I'm disappointed too and have to admit to use Amazon's Cloud Player on my iPad since last week. It has everything Apple's Music App used to have especially a good looking, fast and comfortable cover display.
I also hope very much there will be some form of cover display in the near future in Apple's App.
By the way: They should add the possibility to delete albums again. It's really annoying to delete them song by song.

Cover flow in ios7

Where is the cover flow in ios7 music app?

Great. With this feature gone, now every time I need to play one song I must scroll pass 220 songs to get to the very bottom for the one I need. 80 for one artist, 115 fur Smithers one and then 220 for another one. What a **** of scrolling down when I can just click on the album displaying only that 5 songs from that album. Arghhhh.

So where is cover flow now then?

Because the new interface on iTunes 11 is beyond hideous!!!
I can't believe you guys took such a backwards step... I absolutely HATE the new look.
I've built up a library of nearly 15,000 songs on iTunes since around 2005, and tonight I feel like deleting everthing and starting again with a non-Apple product.
Guys, you have BADLY misjudged this one.

You are not talking to Apple here.

Cover Flow Display Problem

Has anyone experienced the situation where in cover flow display the album cover will appear when not the primary display (it's one to the left or right and appears 'sideways') but when you place it in the primary display position (the one you're focused on) that area is just black? This is only happening on a few albums but not others. If anyone has a solution to this I'd really appreciate it. I'm very computer savvy, and have tried everything I can think of but can't fix it.

After hours of frustrating experimentation, my partner appears to have found a workaround for this problem. If you have cover art not showing up at all, or showing up in the Cover Flow, but not when you turn your iPod Touch back vertically, this is what to do. If you view the info on a single file in iTunes, you'll notice the cover art sits in the middle of the screen in the Artwork view. What you need to do is create a blank 200x200 72 resolution image file (I don't think these paramaters must be exactly as noted, you just need a square, blank image file). Then add this blank image as a second image to the album that won't display its cover art. Afterward you should have the original artwork on the left half of the display and the blank part on the right. It won't work to just use the slider to get the original file to the left by sliding the slider one place to the left, because once you exit it just puts the picture back in the middle again. You have to add a blank image file. (In fact, the second image file doesn't even have to be blank, if you just want to use another album image file you have.) Once you have the artwork you want displayed fixed to the left half, everything works fine.

What happened to cover flow?

where is cover flow, I can't find it in the menu?

Apple have removed it from iTunes 11

Where does Safari save pix it uses for Cover Flow?

I am scrolling through Cover Flow in Safari 4.0 and I wanted to know where it saves the pictures I see in the previews. Is it saved in a Jpeg somewhere that I can access and view or some other format that I can't?
Thanks.

.DS_Store files only track where thing are positioned on your system; they aren't caching anything.
I would have said that too, since as far as I know Finder doesn't keep any thumbnail caches. But the fact is that the first time you open a folder full of images without built-in thumbnails in icon view it takes a noticeable amount of time for Finder to draw them, but in subsequent openings they do indeed seem to appear as quickly as if they did have thumbs. I did a bit of experimenting and deleted the .DS_Store file in such a folder, and Finder did have to redraw the thumbs when I opened the folder later, and recreated the .DS_Store file. However, the file just isn't big enough to be a thumbnail cache. I would guess it does include some sort of instruction to the Finder about thumbs, but doubt it includes any actual thumbnails.
However, in my case this speediness does NOT persist through a restart.

The "Cover Flow" / "Album Artist" duplicate albums problem on the iPod

Hi Guys,
I've made some research about this issue and got to some interesting conclusions.
DISCLAIMER:
1. I searched the web and found people describing this problem since 2006 till 2009 and the solution always revolved around not using the "Artist" and the "Album Artist" tags like they should be used.
2. I did a lot of testing, including re-writing the ID3 tags in different versions and formats to rule out any issues around the tags themselves.
3. If the stuff I'm going to describe is already well known than sorry about that, I just couldn't find it anywhere.
PROBLEM:
An album that has a single Album Artist and different Artists appears several times in the iPod Cover Flow although it looks just fine in iTunes.
Tagging the tracks as "Part of a Compilation" only partially solves the issue since the album will appear in the iPod Cover Flow as a Compilation showing up in the end and not together with the "Album Artist" like in iTunes and like it should.
It seems to be a simple issue around the way the iPod uses the "Album Artist" tag but it also seems to be around forever and it's strange Apple hasn't looked into it.
RESEARCH:
Since I just bought a new iPod Classic, I was again looking into this issue and now I was getting annoyed, strangely the behaviour wasn't the same for all the albums that were suffering from the problem. I found that when the Artist was a combination of, for example:
Album - AlbumX
Album Artist - ArtistX
Track 1 - ArtistX
Track 2 - ArtistX Feat. X
Track 3 - ArtistX
Track 4 - ArtistX Feat. Z
Track 10 - ArtistX Feat. XYZ
In the iPod Cover Flow I got ONLY TWO different albums, one with "ArtistX" and another one with "ArtistX Feat. X".
Well, this was very different from the normal behaviour when the artists are all completely different, in which case you get X amount of albums according to the X amount of different artist names you have.
CONCLUSION:
It seems to have something to do with the dot ".", I reached the conclusion that for Artist interpretation in the iPod when the Artist tag has a dot "." then it stops interpreting. That means that if you had a "." after the main artist name than it will show only once, like in the above example:
Album - AlbumX
Album Artist - ArtistX
Track 1 - ArtistX. <---- NOTICE THE DOT
Track 2 - ArtistX. Feat. X
Track 3 - ArtistX.
Track 4 - ArtistX. Feat. Z
Track 10 - ArtistX. Feat. XYZ
Then in the iPod Cover Flow it will show up only once as AlbumX - ArtistX.
I prefer to use the dots instead of just removing all the "Featurings and similar" since I can still see it normally if I play the track.
So, in the end, a combination like this in your "Artist" tag: "Album Artist"."Artist" would solve the problem in the iPod.
I would love for Apple to solve this issue and I hope this helps.
Has someone else noticed this or am I going crazy?
Thanks!

sometimes the official title of a release does include the Feat. Guest info.
Yes, but only in some (or many) cases. There seems to be no consistency here, as if Apple were paying no attention about where to put "feat. guest". And I guess most of the data in CDDB (Gracenote) still have "feat. guest" in Artist (correctly, in my opinion).
I quite agree that your workaround is the best workaround. I'm just too self-willed (obstinate?, I don't know the correct English) and don't want to pollute my Library with "wrong" data. Most of the problems would simply be solved if, just if Apple make iPods sort/group artists as iTunes do. Sorry but this is how I feel. I guess you can't help people like me. Thank you for your patience.
Anyway, we need a clear document from Apple describing what are the intended uses of various tags, and iTunes/iPods should obey this document. It seems for me that each Apple engineer is doing just what (s)he wants to do, without any guidelines.

Cover Flow Mix Up and Album Song Mix Up Question

I just got an 80gb ipod and have all my songs on it now. i am just about finished with getting all of the album covers that i didnt have into my itunes now. i didnt get any of the album covers from itunes, i just did a search for all of em in google.
anyways, for some reason i have one song from the red hot chili peppers greatest hits album (soul to squeeze) and if you click on get info and then click on artwork the correct cover is there but in the cover flow and album view its zz tops greatest hits cover and underneath it reads greatest hits and then underneath that its Various Artists. My Queen greatest hits album has the same zz top cover and reads the same as well, lol. i cant figure out how to fix this.
one more thing before i go guys, i have a couple of albums where the songs are not together but the artist and album names are the same, ive retyped the artists name and album to see if i somehow made a mistake the first time but they are still seperate, what the heck else can i do. its annoying have an album where the songs are not together?
once i fix these problems am i going to have to resynch my ipod again, i have 6thousand plus songs, that took forever the first time i did that. im hopin i can just plug the ipod into itunes and it will just fix what is different??
thanks, guys
Message was edited by: gconley

nope, the songs are not mixed up at all. like i said, its just the album art and the artist name underneath the album which reads "various artists". my queen greatest hits and my red hot chili peppers greatest hits say the same thing and both have my zz top greatest hits album cover lol.
now if you click get info on the album the artwork is the correct artwork which blows my mind.
somebody please helps, its so annoying.
thanks
one more thing, do i have to resync my whole ipod again just to get the album artwork on there or is there a faster way than having to resync 6thousand plus songs?? ive actually never resync so maybe it will just add stuff thats different instead of just putting everything back on??

View by cover flow not working in Itunes 8.1

Hi all, I don't know what's Happened but view by cover flow has stopped working for some reason . view by list & view by grid still works but when i goto select view by cover flow, all I get is a blank screen where the albums should be & a empty space at the bottom. When I first installed Itunes & Quick time, view by cover flow was working. I havent used it tho for a couple of weeks then thought i'll try it again & now nothing. Is there a fix I can try to get it back to the way it was before it stopped working? It doesn't affect the use of Itunes in any way, (I can still sync to my 32gig Ipod touch no problem) but as I do use view by cover flow, I miss it & having to use view by grid & the moment (just means a double click on the album to see the tracks that's all), Yes all my drivers & directx are up to date & Itunes & quicktime are the latest versions. Cheers

So I found out how to clean this up. Make sure to replace "USER_NAME" with the right account name.
1. Remove Itunes, Quicktime, and Apple Mobile device Support.
2. Reboot PC
3. Delete C:\Program Files\Itunes Directory
4. Delete C:\Document and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\Apple Computer
5. Delete C:\Document and Settings\USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer
6. Delete C:\Document and Settings\USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple
7. Reboot
8. Reinstall Itunes
This reset all of the settings and brought back the cover flow as well as keeping my existing files.
Obviously there was a easier way of doing this.. but a full clean install helps.

Scratchy Sound When Sliding Through Covers in Cover Flow View in iTunes 8

Anyone having problems with a scratchy sound as you slide through covers in the cover flow view in iTunes 8?
Also sliding too fast has caused app to crash.

The scratchy sound seems to have come up a few times with iTunes 8 (including in a couple of other threads that I can't find right now). It seems to have picked up around the last QT update, which was coincident with the iTunes upgrade.
(post updated)
I must admit, I didn't read closely at 7:30 in the morning, and didn't see this was just happening to OP with cover flow.
But there have been a number of people (including me) complaining of general scratchiness in iTunes 8 and AirTunes that seems traceable to the last QT update. Be glad you aren't in my situation, where it's ALWAYS scratchy.

Cover Flow... Style Over Substance

I don't know about you but I think that someone, somewhere deep in halls of Cupertino have got themselves into a right royal frenzy over Cover Flow.
We all remember that Cover Flow first appeared as a shareware plug-in for iTunes. Sure, it looked good but in all honesty, after playing with it for a minute or so it became obvious that as a means of actually selecting music, Cover Flow was pretty useless. I dumped it.
Similarly, those of us who have experienced using Cover Flow to select music on the new 6th Gen iPods have also realised that it is more a gimmick than a useful addition to the UI.
Now Leopard... After less than 24 hours using the the new operating system, I've once again reached the same conclusion. As a method of selecting files in the Finder, Cover Flow – in my opinion –is once again pretty useless.
Doubtless many out there will disagree but I think that Apple really should get over this Cover Flow fixation. Yes, we all know that it looks pretty and all that. But as a productivity tool it's worthless.
That's my ten penneth. I'd be interested in what others have to say.

Then don't use it - no one is forcing you to.
However I would say that you should keep an open mind and think past previous ways of doing things. For example I have a 'manuals' folder where I save downloaded manuals and docs. Coverflow is one way of browsing through that folder then when I see the document I want (which is one of the ideas of coverflow) I can page through it in coverflow view or, more likely, just press the spacebar to bring it up in Preview.
It works, and more importantly I have the choice.
Do I have coverflow set as default view for looking at folders - no of course not, it is not necessary and it consumes resources to render each image. But it's there if I want it - and for some folder/documents it is very nice.

Cover flow dimensions

Hi,
I'm using the "Cover Flow" view in finder and it has an option to turn on the "Dimensions" colum. Which is really handy for my work because it instantly shows the dimensions of all the image files in the window. However, I can only turn this on, in the sub folders of my "Pictures" folders. Does anybody know a hack or an option panel where I can use this for all my other documents besides my photos?
Thanks in advance.

These settings are only avaialble if the contents of the current folder contain them in their metadata. For example, drag a few pictures containing "Dimension" information to a folder that does not have these options, and you will see the folder will now have these options. There is no hack to enable this feature. Ultimately it is always enabled but just limited on a per-folder basis by its applicability and relevance to the folder's contents.

Cover flow column widths

Hi everyone,
Is there any way in which I can set the widths of the columns in the finder window when I am using Cover Flow?
When I open up a new window, the column width for the first column is huge:
So I often resize it manually to a more reasonable size:
The thing is, it always opens up with the huge first column. Is there any way I can make them stay the same size with all new windows?
I have been through the finder options but can't find the answer there. I have also used the "Use as defaults" button in the finder options, but it doesn't stick the column widths.
Anyone got any ideas?

mine starts at the beginning too
but once its started and you stop it
it will not return to the beginning without that slider
where is apple man at????????????????????????

Cover Flow bug or feature?

With Finder Preferences set to "Always open folder in a new window" and Finder view set to Cover Flow, double-clicking a folder icon in the top (Cover Flow) portion of the Finder window opens its contents in a new window behind the existing window, whereas double-clicking the same folder in the lower (List) section of the Finder window opens its contents in a new window in front of the existing window

Hi,
I installed Leopard yesterday and have exactly the same problem.I think its a bug but would be interested to know if a new install fixes it - its really annoying!
