Album Art automatically added with iTunes 7


Fresh from Apple comes iTunes 7, with a few great album cover art features. When you launch iTunes 7 for the fist time you see this:

iTunes imports all the album covers (that it has) for ALL the songs in your library, not just songs purchased for the iTunes music store.

Also, there are two new ways to view your library with album art. First is a list view with cover designs:

Second is Coverflow view, which used to be an external app created by Steel Skies. They sold the technology to Apple, who have integrated it nicely into iTunes and the iTunes movie store (if you haven't heard, Apple is selling movies now). You can actively scroll through album covers, sort of like a jukebox. It looks like:

Of course it's much more impressive when it's being used, so go get iTunes already!!
