I don't know, but my best guess is that it's implemented using OpenGL. In Interface Builder you can find an NSOpenGLView under GraphicsViews.

The iTunes view looks like a set of rectangles in 3D space textured with album arts. When browsing the library, these rectangles are rendered using predefined coordinate transformations as a function of time. With that I mean that the path the rectangles move is defined a priori but to what position on the path the rectangle is rendered depends on time. I believe the iTunes view is actually _very_ simple.

Or perhaps, using quartz composer.

Can anybody tell me how the cover flow view in tunes 7 may have been
implemented??
It looks cool. Any idea about where can I get a sample of such a view or a
view similar to that....
