- phlezk, on 04/19/2008, -6/+39don't care about the coverflow, but thanks for showing me a cool new mixtape website
- Rsulliv1, on 04/19/2008, -4/+21The narrator's voice and attitude reminded me of the smug South Park episode.
- RBrenner14, on 04/19/2008, -1/+16Don't care about CoverFlow, but how does this Muxtape site work? How are they allowed to let you listen to all these MP3s?
- pak314, on 04/19/2008, -1/+15How many people actually like coverflow? It is nice eye candy but I don't find it useful when browsing through songs or files.
- zotokk, on 04/19/2008, -1/+10Mozilla's Prism http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/10/prism/ is the Windows, Linux equivalent for fluid.
- dteare, on 04/19/2008, -5/+13Amazing! That coverflow preview is a great idea.
- rreadysetno, on 04/19/2008, -0/+7These digital kids know nothing of mix tapes.
- rreadysetno, on 04/19/2008, -0/+7No,
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -1/+6Hmm... and interesting dilemma. Perhaps getting a mac might help.
- UGM2099, on 04/19/2008, -1/+6Of course it's not on the up and up, but he does have unofficial backing from some pretty significant players, so it will be interesting to see how things go.
- Tyr7BE, on 04/19/2008, -4/+8Hey coverflow's damn useful - say, for example, you want to browse your music library album by album, and you want the process to be as slow and tedious as possible - well if that's the case, have I got an interface for you! Need to see tiny versions of your documents with completely illegible text? No problem! Have a large number of files you're trying to sort and you're looking to be overwhelmed? Well it can do that too.
- Bromskloss, on 04/19/2008, -3/+7What is Muxtape? I see I can listen to music on their page, but I don't get what the idea is.
- Garlik, on 04/19/2008, -1/+5I use coverflow when I'm looking for a document but I'm not sure what the name is, but using the spacebar to look at a preview of the document is both a lot easier and a lot faster.
- 5urr3al5am, on 04/19/2008, -0/+4I would think a large grid of small thumbnails would be much much quicker
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -4/+7Troll, begging to start a flame war. Yawn.
- wiredclimber, on 04/19/2008, -9/+12Pretty darn clever
- flap, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3The point is to share musix with your friends. It's a pretty popular past time you should try it.
They know the amazon links through a serious of code related magical spells. - flap, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3Actually Muxtape is working on incorporatingg last.fm scrobbling.
- Rekzai, on 04/19/2008, -4/+7I don't see how this is useful, eye candy is overrated.
- FDDIcent, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3I use it for looking through folders with lots of pictures, but your right it certainly isn't practical most of the time.
- flap, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3I agree I don't use coverflow for anything on my mac. However in the case of muxtape there is no way to view playlists any other way. It should be noted you can view them in thumbnails not just coverflow
- amneosis, on 04/19/2008, -1/+3wow, I'd never heard of fluid or muxtape, score! the muxtape flickr icon group is a great tip too, those favicons looks ***** in the dock.
- tidu, on 04/19/2008, -0/+2I was thinking the same thing. I looked and couldn't find it, maybe its a cap from one of the HD trailers
- Midnightrambler, on 04/19/2008, -1/+3If you have ever used the muxtape web site you would see the benefit of setting this up.
- kru1e, on 04/19/2008, -3/+5Great use of a couple different applications there. But where can I get the awesome Walle Wallpaper, link anyone?
- frieddonuts, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2By Jove! That's brilliant!
- synthoid, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2http://home.comcast.net/~synthoid/walle-rubix-huge ...
http://home.comcast.net/~synthoid/walle-console-hu ... - synthoid, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2http://home.comcast.net/~synthoid/walle-rubix-huge ...
http://home.comcast.net/~synthoid/walle-console-hu ... - wacomwacoff, on 04/19/2008, -1/+3Then you didn't pay attention. Muxtape is a site that lets you listen to other people's mixtapes for free. This guy put together a little app that lets you play their mixes on your desktop in a really convenient way. Ta da!
- 5urr3al5am, on 04/19/2008, -1/+3oh the guy that works 'down at the social center' on Family Guy.. "How you-all doing tonight.. great I hope!"
- kensuke155, on 04/19/2008, -1/+2i second the motion
- aelias, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1It doesn't "spring" right for me. It's jerky even on a fast machine and it hurts my eyes to use it for too long. Glaven.
- bakersfield90, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2the narrator's voice made me want to punch a baby....
- itod47, on 04/19/2008, -7/+8You can also use Fluid + Coverflow + Digg to preview thumbnails of Dugg stories in coverflow: http://www.vimeo.com/895002/
- scthk, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1I also like it for folders with lots of presentations on them, but with QuickView, that is usually sufficient.
My biggest complaint is below the coverflow view images is list view, which I would prefer column view.
Maybe there is a hack for that. - TrevorBelmont, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1I was very tempted to bury you for using the pseudo-word "hawt".
- venicerocco, on 04/19/2008, -2/+3It's quite useful for browsing photos actually, as you might imagine.
- aelias, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Just wait a week, someone will write something.
- Takuro, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1Pretty cool, but not exactly earth-shaking. It's sort of lame that even with coverflow page browsing, it still has to open the site's page in a separate window, where you then have to manually scroll to and select the link to the song.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -2/+3i wish i had a mac. :(
- flashback99, on 04/19/2008, -2/+3Shut up windows.
- benjackthomas, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Brilliantly simple explanation of an excellent website that opens up a world of other peoples music using the coolness of Macs - nice one.
Does anyone know any other websites that Fluid works so seamlessly with? - UGM2099, on 04/19/2008, -7/+8Aside from being cool as hell this is a very practical extension of a simple and beautiful interface.
- 5urr3al5am, on 04/19/2008, -2/+3Why is it that all of these 'guys' that make these demo video clips sound so gay?
- dougmccune, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Taking this up a notch: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2008/04/25/introducing- ...
- wacomwacoff, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1That's the whole idea. You can make mixtapes and listen to other people's mixes.
- bowe, on 04/20/2008, -2/+2And dude has a breathing problem.
- flap, on 04/19/2008, -1/+1When you sign up you get a space to upload 12 songs which can then be shared with anyone and streamed directly from the browser (or on an iphone)
- flap, on 04/19/2008, -1/+1Actually I still exchange mixtapes (on real cassettes) all the time!
- wacomwacoff, on 04/19/2008, -2/+2Wrong. The whole point of what this guy did is use Coverflow to make Muxtape into an easily-browsable desktop app. Not lame at all.
