iTunes & Cover Flow

Post by aescott »

Does anyone know how to get iTunes cover flow working?

I have iTunes 10.0.0.68 on a Windows XP Guest, using VirtualBox 3.2.6 r63112. The main OS is openSUSE. I have no problems with VB - I can sync my iPod fine, it's just that the cover flow display is blank.

Coverflow uses DirectX. If you have proper 3D support on your OS (this means full hardware acceleration), you can try to enable 3D in the VM settings and install the Guest Additions, with 3D feature, in Windows safe mode.
