THE TOUCH CAMERA IS great, but if you like moving pictures—or pictures that really move—check out Cover Flow. Designed to show off your music collection to maximum effect, Cover Flow is basically a parade of album artwork that also lets you start playing music right away.

To use Cover Flow, tap the Music icon on the Home screen to get into your audio library. Instead of tapping through lists with the Touch in portrait mode, rotate it to landscape (horizontal) view. The text-based lists go away, replaced by full-color album covers. Flick your finger across the screen to see them whiz by.

An album cover doesn’t tell you what songs are on it, so stop flicking covers and tap one to see its track listing. You can also tap the button in the lower-right corner to spin the cover around and see the song list. To hear a song play, tap its title in the list. To pause the song, tap in the lower-left corner; press to start it up again.
