I find it very interesting how underwhelmed I am by the new views.  
Cover flow doesn't work for me, since hardly any of my albums (maybe  
10-20%) actually had artwork to download. The Album view is just  
plain buggy. For example, I have an album called "Live USA" by Sinead  
O'Connor. I also have an album by David Bowie called "Live USA". The  
new view seemingly randomly sorts them... That is: Tracks 1-3 of the  
Bowie Album are together, then a new album with tracks 1-4 of the  
Sineaod O'Connor album. Then Back to Bowie for a few tracks, and so  
on. I could understand if the Compilation tag were set, but what's up  
with that????

But really, these kinds of bugs happen. But for all the boasting  
about the iTMS and the number of songs available, I was very  
unimpressed by the lack of artwork. I guess this vehicle to get me to  
start using the iTMS won't work - obviously they don't cater to my  
tastes (which aren't that far out there!)
