The new iTunes 7 Cover Flow feature is an amazing visual tool. It helps you go through your song collection just like flipping through your vinyl.

Lets get something similar for Ableton Live !

All they have to do is program a hide/show button and if you don't like it... don't use it. DJs will have a much better time going through their tracks and producers can give their songs a little more than just color-coding.
If Live ever implements video mixing, then the feature would be great as well.

I used to DJ vinyl and there is nothing like going through your crate and seeing each record.

I'm enjoying iTunes 7 like you have no idea, but it sounds like it'd be too much overkill to program in Live just to have a nice visual feature. Also, the implementation to make it work with Live's workflow would need very good thought.

Check out "Rapid Evolution". It's a database system for your tunes, and includes album cover browsing - it's also skinable, so it MAY be possible to make it look like an extension of live...

I'm just starting to get my head around it.


(Oh, did I mention it also scans your audio files and returns the key, BPM and length of your tracks?)

Use itunes as a browser for your songs in Live. Drag and drop is supported...
