For all you Mac users, "Clutter" a very cool iTunes App.
Here is a screen shot of my desktop. Click for larger version.
Below is a quote from osxhints.com (great site) explaining what all the album covers are.
" What does clutter do? Theoretically, it's designed to let you 'clutter' your desktop with a bunch of virtual albums. Once launched, Clutter displays a small window showing the current iTunes track information, some forward/pause/rewind buttons, and the album cover for the current song. But the album art information doesn't come from iTunes, it comes from Amazon, assuming you're connected to the internet. As each album is found, a local copy of the artwork JPEG is stored on your hard drive, so future lookups are local, not internet based..
Once you have a cover, the way you clutter your desktop is pure Macintosh -- just drag the cover artwork out of the Clutter window and drop it where you wish. This creates a virtual album that can be control-clicked on, allowing easy management of songs on albums. Over time, you begin to accumulate favorite albums scattered across your desktop, hence the name Clutter. But having cluttered your desk, you'll find it really easy to find that favorite song you wanted to hear without having to visit iTunes to do so. When you're tired of an album on your desktop, just click once and hit delete. "

OK, Robb. One question..."Why?" Personally I'm more into the neat, clean lines, zen look. I don't think I have enough energy left for 'clutter'! I'd only have to clean it up. ;)
Well, as you can tell from the screen shot i don't exactly like disorganization either... all the albums are neatly arranged ; )
You shouldn't listen to me anyway. I turned to "the dark side" by going from Apple to PC. Tim has an Apple laptop, so I guess my influence wasn't too deadly.
