While I'm a complete convert to the world of MP3s and iTunes (having long since digitized all my music) I sometimes yearn back to the days of vinyl, or more specifically, vinyl covers. There was something magical about going to a friend's house and leafing through their albums one at a time to see what gems they had hidden.

If you feel this way too, and you're a Mac user, then you are going to love this. My tip of the hat to Uneasy Silence for pointing out a free piece of software called CoverFlow that pulls all the images from your iTunes music, and displays them as a scrolling set of album covers. It's truly fantastic - I've been playing with it all weekend.

If Apple knows what's good for them, they should snap this up and include it in the next version of Front Row, because this is just the perfect way to browse your music from your armchair.
