No it is the metaphor of a mechanical plastic spinning disk which seems so
dated in the age of online streaming music. Music does not need a mechanical
substrate of a CD. I lose CD's all the time, I do not want to own them or
even MP3 files on my own hard drive so iTune is not my choice either. I want
someone else (like IBM) to own a big secure server with a million songs and
have broadband access to that server for $20 a month.

The overlap is symetrically mirrored rather than sequential?

Pretty well executed. We did something like that in iSpace many years ago.
When we moved library panels to 3D, Beta testers got so angry that half of
them left. We had to take it out in the end.
Another observation: Can someone tell me what is wrong with that cute
picture of CD's spinning in 3D?

That would open up some neat possibilities for theme creators.
