Swap full-screen Cover Flow and video in iTunes
Tip of the Day
To remove those little icon utility menus in the upper-right corner of your screen, simply hold down the Command (Apple) key and drag the offender out of the menu bar and onto a blank area of the Desktop. Poof! No more icon.

What's with the constant plugging of Dixie Chicks? Please stop, it's enough already.

#1: I'm blogging at a coffee shop for a change of scenery and I don't have my iTunes library with me, so I couldn't shoot a new pic even if I wanted to ATM. All we're doing is re-using the same pic we used before for convenience, not for a plug. It's one band or another. Last time I used a shot of Spin Doctors in my library and people - who obviously can't comprehend how amazing the band really is - lambasted me for it.
You just can't seem to please everyone...

Relaxing at a coffee shop while working? Where can I signup for a job at TUAW?

The Spin Doctors are an amazing band. Ignore the naysayers!

I tried this with iTunes 7.1.1 and it doesn't work. It takes me out of full-screen mode when I hit Cmd-Tab. Maybe it is due to multiple displays or requires an Intel or something.

Command-f also does the trick.

Staring at album covers just hasn't been a selling point for me. Especially since, with buying single tracks from many artists, I have no connection in my mind with what the albums look like.
Why can't they sell me a nice art pack, say 100 top Impressionist works, that I could "watch" with my classical music?

Party Time!
Make a playlist and have the albums switch as it plays....Or Quartz compositor and iVisualize for the win!

In full screen mode...If I could flip the album art to see the song selection that would be fantastic
Like "artifex" statement, album art not a selling point !

Johnny: I have a MacBook Pro using 7.1.1 and command-tab does the same thing for me. Single display, Intel chip. Not sure why it doesn't work...

It only works if you do the full screen CoverFlow first. If you full screen the video first, it will just bring you back to the desktop. Hope that helps.
