Cover Stream: A Desktop Cover Flow for Mac
Cover Stream is a desktop application for Mac that brings the beauty of iTunes' Cover Flow to your desktop. With this program, you can browse through your albums and enjoy quick playback functions without even needing to have iTunes opened.
The standout feature of Cover Stream is its flip browsing, which allows you to turn over an album to view and select a track. This adds a level of interactivity that is lacking in the traditional iTunes Cover Flow. Additionally, the application includes playback functions to control your songs, and you can use keyboard shortcuts to activate them faster.
If you prefer a more discreet view, Cover Stream offers a Mini-Flow mode that keeps iTunes and the application minimized while still displaying the album cover and essential information.
While Cover Stream performs well overall, it should be noted that it can use a lot of RAM. It is recommended to use it sparingly to prevent excessive memory usage. Despite this drawback, Cover Stream is a great way to enjoy Cover Flow and play your iTunes music directly from your desktop.
