Album Cover Browser

OK, here’s my problem with iTunes. It’s great that you can assign album covers to your tracks. But what’s the point? So you can stare at the cover while you’re listening to the song? Seems kind of silly.
I’ve been looking, but have been unable to find, something that will let me browse my iTunes Library by Album Cover, the way I do with my real CD’s. I think that would be MUCH more enjoyable than looking through lists of album names. Has anyone seen such a program?
Clutter kind of has the idea, but it doesn’t pick up the art from iTunes, hasn’t been updated in almost a year, and, most importantly, you have to choose and arrange onscreen the albums you want to be able to browse through. If you want to look at your whole collection, you’re back to lists of names.
If you’ve seen anything out there, let me know. This might be an interesting project to get me back into programming…

I’m looking for the exact same thing. I came upon your blog looking for a solution.
I was hoping Apple would have added such a capabilty to iTunes by now, but alas not.
There is a program calledMP3voodoo which has the right idea, but doesn’t pull the info from iTunes. It’s its own mp3 jukebox, though it does interact with iTunes a bit. It too hasn’t been updated in a year or so, and doesn’t pull art from the files themselves, rather it stores an art file in the album directory.
If you find anything, I’d love to hear about it.
Thanks, Michael
