Cover Stream brings the old CoverFlow back

Most people will know CoverFlow as a new feature in Mac OS X Leopard. But it actually started as an app for the Mac, simply for scrolling through album art. Apple purchased it not long before developing Leopard, and made good use of it. It’s now built-in to the core of the OS – and developers that write software for the Mac can even integrate CoverFlow into them. It’s on our iPhones and iPods too. But what if you just want the plain old CoverFlow that it used to be? Well, there are no copies floating around the (legal) internet anymore.

Cover Stream is an iTunes helper app that basically re-creates the old CoverFlow app. They’ve also added a few new features – like the “flip-browsing”. Similarly to the iPhone/iPod Touch, you can click on an album cover and it will flip around, allowing you to choose a song to play. Cover Stream is available from the developer’s website for $14.95.
