Definition:
Cover Flow – Cover Flow is a feature of iTunes that lets you browse through your iTunes library by looking at album covers, rather than text.
You can access Cover Flow by clicking the third button, the one on the far right, in the “View” section of iTunes. You will find these buttons next to the search box at the top right of the iTunes window. Clicking this button will show your library’s albums covers on the top of the window and the names of songs and albums below it.
You scroll through your library in Cover Flow using the left and right arrows. To make Cover Flow full screen, click the icon with the four arrows at the bottom right of the Cover Flow area.
In order to use Cover Flow, you must have added album cover art[1] to iTunes.
Cover Flow was added to iTunes with version 7, released in Sept. 2006.
Cover Flow was originally developed as an add-on program to iTunes by Steel Skies[2]. They sold it to Apple in Sept. 2006.
