Browse iTunes by cover design
In our view, anything that helps cd cover design and liner notes make the transition to digital along with the music is good good good. So we like CoverBuddy. It's an app that lets you view your iTunes collection like it was a jukebox, browsing through the cd cover art designs. You click on a cover, choose a track and it plays - sweet! There's a search box just like iTunes', which can search title, artist, album etc. There's a full screen mode and you can actively scale the size of the covers ala iPhoto.
2 hitches - it's Macintosh only and it will not automatically retrieve cd designs from the net due to legal worries. For automatic cover art retrieval for iTunes try M-Beat. CoverBuddy does however provide a link to the album's amazon.com page where you can drag the cover directly from the browser window.
CoverBuddy is $24.95 and M-Beat is $10.00. Review to come soon.
