Description
So OS X has coverflow in Finder, which is great. It is a easy way to _quickly_ browse through a huge amount of pictures/media/etc. I'm not suggesting that we do that as well, (unless you all want to, cool!) but maybe think of some other interesting way to show the contents of a folder in 3d or something.

Coverflow is a nice effect, but I found its not actually that useful. I doubt even Stevie uses it.

I dont think theres any disadvantage to implementing it though, so +0.

People are more likely to just use thumbnail browsing. Its a much more efficient paradigm. And it still can be improved alot in some places

An Amarok mockup I found interesting:

Cover flow and the possibility to browse through and inside documents in no time thanks to Quick Look ARE INDEED VERY USEFUL:
- I am studying medicine and I often have to find the most relevent information in a massive database of documents.
- My study budy is on Mac OX tiger and I can tell you these are very very powerful and useful tools.

In combination with spotlight search engine which Tracker is not matching up yet.

Coverflow look very good.
I hope there will be something like it in Ubuntu in the future.
