iTunes 11 will get back the missing duplicate song detection but Cover Flow won’t return.

As part of his favorable review of iTunes 11, Walt Mossberg noted that Apple commented on two particular features it took out of iTunes 11.

Fans of iTunes will notice some omissions and flaws. The long-touted Cover Flow carousel of album covers has been dumped. The company says it found too few users considered it useful. A feature that finds duplicate entries is missing. Apple says it will soon be restored in a minor update of the program.

I’ve never was a big fan of Cover Flow on iTunes or the Finder, so I won’t miss it. What about you? You can comment and add your thinkings in the comments bellow.

Here’s the video review:
