Multiple Coverflow's in iTunes 7


iTunes has supported separate playlist windows forever, but with Coverflow in iTunes 7 this has new potential. To set this up you just need to double-click the icon (the little eigth note) for whatever playlists you want to show. Then go the the view options buttons on the top right of the window and put it in Coverflow view. You can adjust the size of the playlist window and the Coverflow part inside of that, so fit the windows however you want. This works best with multiple montiors so you can have multiple playlists on one monitor and your general library on the other side.

A couple small iTunes 7 Bugs/Tips

I love iTunes 7, but here are a couple things to look out for:

-Full screen playback desaturates/brightens videos. They will look fine in the "separate window" view but then looked washed out when blown up.

-Some attempts to download album art work from iTS resulted in tracks getting placed out of order when sorting by Album. It turns out the problem is (in my cases) a difference in "Album Artist." A simple batch change on an album will fix this.

Enjoy!
