Hello,

What I don't understand in 3D Albums view : when I select an album (mouse over the cover art, without clicking), its name and Artist aren't display (I mean : just under the albums wall). But then, if I click and drag fastly to right or left to slide the wall (so I don't see the selected album anymore) its name and Artist are displayed... ? This seems not very normal.. Is it a bug or a standard behaviour ?

It seems that the captions are shown when you move large distances in the wall to show you where you are.

OK, but what's the point ? I would prefer the caption be displayed immediately when the album is selected (mouse over it). Personally I know my albums so no problem to navigate through the 3D wall, but for a guest (or my wife) the caption is useful because the cover art is not always explicit.

And I've tried with a slow motion of the mouse : even with large distance, the caption is not displayed. It appears only when the motion is fast...

Bump.

So, is this a bug / meaningless behaviour or not ? Wouldn't be better to display the caption of an album when it is focused ?
