I really like it too.  In fact, I like both mockups for different 
reasons.  Two views, one model?  :-)

One question would be, where does this integrate?  Is it always on along 
the bottom?  Does it come to the forefront in the context view when you 
want to browse music quickly?  Could it be activated by a hotkey?  (I 
don't know what iTunes Cover Flow is like, so maybe I'm rethinking the 
wheel here).
