Cover Flow for CF

Is it possible to add album cover flow (like in iTunes) in CF

Yes, write a plugin for it.

I tried out the cover flow on iTunes in the car while driving and it was pretty much impossible to control the flow with a touchscreen. If your using a device other than a touchscreen (i.e. Powermate or SpaceNavigator) then it'll probably be ok but other than that I see no good use for it in the car.

?? I find it hard to believe that it would be impossible to control the flow with a touchscreen... the exact interface it was designed for (Iphone? Ipod TOUCH maybe?).

Itunes' and Leopard's "coverflow" is not the same as the Iphone/Ipod Touch's anyway. It's meant to be navigated with the scrollbar on the bottom.

I'm in the process of writing a coverflow plugin. It is using "simple" image manipulation, so no 3d acceleration, and performance should therefore be good.

I was talking about when you're actually driving and not just sitting in the car. I found it much easier to use the current media interface than the coverflow view in iTunes. It took too much concentration for me to find an album and play it. I felt like it took to much of my attention away from driving. This is just my opinion.

I have the coverflow part working, but I do not know how to integrate it with the CF player.

Can any of you give me some suggestions to what should happend when?

Which covers should be shown, and what to do when the cover is clicked?
