[snip] Mmm - odd response to my question, Jim. Are you living in some parallel universe whereby the words you read on your screen are the words written by a parallel-universe version of me, and due to some weird space-time warp, the messages are swapping over to the wrong reality?

No, I'm just ignoring your insults and trying to answer your questions. If you want an argument, fine. If you want an answer to your question, fine. Make up your mind.

You didn't mention coverflow, so a number of us checked and found that the display was excellent. It was only when you mentioned coverflow, some way in, that it became clear what you meant. -- Peter

No surprise, given that you've made no > attempt to explain yourself. That is becasue I fail to understand how you can not understand. You claim that the displayed resolution of the displayed image in coverflow is _always much less than the the resolution of the original image_ . I want to know how you cannot understand that if your original image is 300x300 pixels and you were displaying it at (say) 500 x 500 pixels you beleive it could be true. > > > Absolutely all of them are lower quality than the original artwork as > > > pasted in to iTunes. > > > > > > I have seen zero exceptions. > > > > So?

That doesn't surprise me. I am saying that it is irrelevent that you have not seen any exceptions as to whether something happens or not. And in this case, anyone who could apply any sort of thought to the subject would realise that what you claim (that it is always lower resolution) cannot be true. -- Woody
