The new iTunes has an album art jukebox type thing that lets you move through the albums, using the cover art.

I LOVE IT! It would be awesome if a similar one could be implemented into mediaportal.

    looks really nice and the hardware specs will increased with such features, i think. ;) BUT all those features will make MP better and keep it's title as a really great MediaCenter

    The design team already had a look at iTunes (I guess we spread a virus there now... :D). So maybe for 0.3, more probably after 0.3 we might get it implemented. Current MP doesn't have the technology to display the album browsing like iTunes does. Version 0.3 should be prepared for such.

    So don't expect it too soon, but we're surely having an eye on it. (Hard to get the eyes off of it anyway...)

    Hypnotized ;)

    They use a "?" album cover when the art is missing... I put a "folder.jpg" in every folder of ripped music. So I'm ready for this when it comes out! ;)

    The feature certainly makes it more jukebox like... I'd love using my remote control through MP with the same kind of interface.
