Some months ago, I run into CoverFlow and it appears that it was exactly what I wanted since ages. I had kind of similar ideas but never that looked that good. However as I’m neither a Mac user, nor using iTunes, I had to code my own solution. In short, coverPlay is kind of coverFlow for windows.

This early release is not as polished as coverFlow. So far, this is basically a launcher for foobar2000 or winamp. There isn’t much requirement except that your albums are in separated folders with image inside. As an alpha release, there are still many glitchs. Installation is manual (not much to do anyway). It hangs a bit when mipmapping the covers. Usability isn’t much polished. But that better than nothing ;)

Seems it appears on YouTube, check this out!

The code has been opensourced and development is now by Mikael under the name coverJuke on SourceForge.

Still want the alpha?
