I personally wouldn't buy the ishelf even though many people consider me to be a big Apple fan. I don't see anything wrong with it though or even that it has anything to do with loving Apple so much. iTunes is available for windows and many windows users like itunes and many Mac users hate it.

The ishelf certainly isn't a practical CD shelf, but it does what it set out to do which is display CDs in a manner that resembles cover flow. If cover flow never existed people might still buy it though just to showcase their most recent or favorite CDs.

Apple fans do a lot of crazy things (apple tattoos, etc.), but buying this isn't one of them.

It's not an Apple exclusive thing. Since forever there have always been too many people with more money than brains.

I don't know a single mac user that would ever consider buying that thing. All of us are already all digital, to us a CD is something you buy, rip, put back in the jewel case and then dump into a box in some closet.

I have been doing it for so long that just this week I got into an argument with my wife because I found a "new" CD in the car and she had not given it to me to rip it. The "new" CD was over 6 months old and I had forgotten what the cover looked like.
