We want Cover Flow back in iTunes

After updating my iTunes I saw the new interface and I thought, ok, a new way to use iTunes. Some nice features, in the GUI. But than I got a shock:
No coverflow anymore??
No option to enable coverflow??
I don't have so much albums in my library, the most of them a "single" songs. So one Album contains one song. For me the album view is not so important as the song and playlist view.
And here its not possible anymore to go through the library like on a jukebox? Once Cover Flow was that "killer feature" of iTunes. And now its gone?
Grabbing in a list like in the older days? That's a step backward!
Apple, please bring back coverflow to iTunes in the next update!

Coverflow - the most overrated feature that only looks good in demos. Least functional and most resource intensive way of browsing your library.
I thought it was overrated too — until I downloaded iTunes 11. Now I sorely miss it when looking at playlists. Having that visual reference at the top of the screen was extremely helpful, and the new Artist List doesn't cut it because that view doesn't preserve the ORDER of your playlist.
I never used Cover Flow to NAVIGATE, but it absolutely ***** not having it as a visual reference for otherwise plain-text lists.
But don't worry — Apple will never bring it back. Everyone in this thread, don't worry your little heads. Apple knows best what you need, whether you agree or not. Don't question Apple. Only praise allowed.

    How do we organize to grit cover flow back?

    You can request it.  That does not mean that the owners of the film will allow it.

  • 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 view in iTunes 7

    I really like the cover flow view but it seems the albums are keyed on Artist so if different tracks have different artists, they show up as multiple albums in the cover flow view. Is there any way to make it key on Album name instead?

    Below the cover view is the track listing which has all the columns as usual - simply click the column title to sort by that field.
    If the album has different artists then make sure the 'group compilations' option is ticked in preferences and then go into the info for the tracks and select 'part of a compilation'. iTunes will then group the tracks into a single album and display 'various artists' as the artist.
    There is also now a field called 'album artist' which sets an artist for an entire album.

  • Cover flow view for iTunes 11

    Is the cover flow view available for itunes 11? I am not able to find it.

    That' really sad... Cover Flow was one good feature that I liked in iTunes. And so, I'm still sticking onto version 10.7

  • Is cover flow gone in iTunes 11?

    Just what the topic asks, Thanks!

    I watched the new video on the iTunes 11 page and noticed Cover Flow is gone.  What a disappointment!  I preferred a partial list view with Cover Flow, like others probably did too.  I will check out iTunes 11 on my external drive with Snow Leopard, just for fun, but I will not be replacing 10.7 on my main drive.  I used the feeback page to say what a mistake it was to remove Cover Flow, and I would not recommend the upgrade to anyone.  You can restore the sidebar and status bar at the bottom by reselecting them in the View menu.  I don't think the removal of Cover Flow has anything to do with the patent lawsuit in 2010, because the judge reversed the decision in 2011.  I think this is just Apple's way...just as they ruined iMovie from the complete overhaul from iMovie HD 6 to iMovie 7.

  • Send your feedback to Apple if you want Cover Flow sorted by Album

    I know this is a hot topic, but I really would prefer to have Cover Flow sorted per Album rather than per Artist. I don't buy the same album for each artist so I think Cover Flow should be per Album, it just makes sense.
    As there's no real way around it and if you agree send your feedback to Apple so at least they know it's something people want and maybe they'll work on a way to fix it for us.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html

    I would support an option to sort by album or artist but if it were only 1 way, i'd like it to be by artist. Assuming the fix the compilation problem, I want the coverflow to work like going to a 'record' store so that i can easily go artist by artist and each artists albums are sorted together. compilations would either be grouped together at the end or under various artists ( but each album would appear once). I know my collection way better by artist than i do by album name.

  • Unable to Obtain Cover Flow View in iTunes 8.1

    No one ever responded.

  • Cover flow view in itunes

    Hello I am a new iTunes user. I love the feature that allows you to view your music arranged under their album covers. But when I am viewing the covers in iTunes it creates multiple entries of the same album if there is an additional artist performing on the album. For example, the new Timbaland cd shockvalue shows a different cover picture for every song. So instead of just showing one album cover for all the songs from the same cd it shows Timbaland presents shockvalue featuring Timbaland and nelly furtado, then it has another one, with Timbaland presents shockvalue featuring Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. I have tried several viewing options with coverflow but have not found a configuration that doesn't break up a cd's songs into multiple entries if their are additional artists on the same album. Why would anyone want to see 15 coverflow pictures for the same CD? This makes viewing the coverflow option a really flawed feature.

    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

  • My Ipod will not transfer all of its songs to purchased Itunes song transfer.  My last pv crashed, I dont have access to it any more.  I want my library back on Itunes.  ANy help?

    My Ipod will not transfer songs.  my old PC crashed and could not recover anything from it.  When I purchased my new Dell, when I loaded Itunes back on to it my content library will only transfer over purchased Itune songs.  I have tons of songs I downloaded from the old "CD" onto my new Itunes account from my Ipod.  Any help?

    so then technically I can't transfer the songs off my ipod to my itunes library?  since it is one 1 transfer from pc to ipod...correct?  So when I synch my ipod the warning screen comes up and says "there are content not in the library, erase and synch library to Itunes, only purchased songs can transfer."   Can I leave the songs on my ipod and when I purchase new songs to itunes I can still transfer those correct?  while having the others on there that wont transfer?

  • Want to go back to iTunes 5

    I too am pretty miffed at the spyware tactics Apple is using in version 6 with Mini music store. I certainly don't trust just hiding it. Don't they realise we are all swamped by ads, spam and pushy commercialism? A nice idea would be to disable and trash it all together as an option.
    I would therefore like to go back to version 5 but cannot find any link to the download package. All there is , is one for 4.7.1
    can anyone help?
    I don't relish having to do a full system reinstall.
    Thanks

    Sean,
    "A nice idea would be to disable and trash it all together as an option."
    You can disable the Music Store by going to iTunes>Preferences>Parental and check Disable Music Store. This will remove the Store from you Source list and also remove the little MiniStore button.
    While I understand your anger over the original implementation of the Mini Store and I think your proposed solution may be an over reaction.
