CoverStream puts Cover Flow on the desktop

CoverStreamCoverStream was recently updated to version 1.4. The tiny application is basically an iTunes helper with a lot of eye-candy thrown in for good measure. It sports a dark translucent bezel interface similar to Quick Look and allows you to control iTunes without messing around with the application itself.

Among other things, it supports flipping the artwork over to reveal the songs in an album, has systemwide keyboard shortcuts for a variety of tasks, a dynamic Dock icon that displays the artwork for the currently playing album, a status window that shows the song details, Growl support, and a menu extra. As far as features is concerned, that’s pretty much it, but I can’t think of anything else I would want it to do either.

It will set you back by $19.95 and, like all the hip and happening applications these days, is exclusive to Leopard. I’m liking it so far and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Give it a try (direct link).
