[Its] approach of using Cover Flow to control iTunes is a refreshing way to interact with my library without having to dive in and out of iTunes every time I want to play a track or select a new playlist… I hate to say it this way, but I’m definitely ‘[re]discovering’ my music all over again, now that I have a far easier way to interact with the tracks and albums that my playlists are built from.”

… very nice interface, but… songs, in playlists, are in a different order than in iTunes and only way to start playing a playlist is opening an album, selecting a song and start from there.
in Cover Stream’s forum I found a post lamenting this “funny” behaviour: it’s dated august 2008 and still unreplied! :-/

Hi there!
I am the developer. Actually, what you are saying is not quite true. Cover Stream play songs in the same order as they appear in your playlist, and opening the track list to start a playlist is not necessary. You can just press play.
I think the post you read in the forums must have referred to an earlier version, which I recall had this problem.

Hum, apparently there’s now a problem with the download site. Alternate link here:

thanks Fabian, it was probably me, on first attempt. I attempted a second try but… your site has been unreachable all the afternoon (and night, here) so…
Anyway: songs are displayed in CoversStream’s playlist in a different order than in iTunes!!!
Also… now that I recall… something that really scared me happened: trying to scroll covers by dragging often resulted in moving (actually copying, pheeew!!!) *a random* song to the desktop!
Sorry, but… this is really, really scaring!! =:-/

Well, the domain http://www.coverstream.net was down the whole weekend and still is down. When loading the domain, I only get “Ce site est fermé momentanément.” meaning “This site is currently closed”. I wanted to try the software, but since my itunes lib is on a different partition, it didn’t work. So I wanted to consult their site, which is down. Very good offer, indeed.

… and three days later… it’s still down!
