If you’ve been impressed with Apple’s Coverflow User Interface (UI) for iTunes, homebrew app developer Da Merv has a nice addition to your Playstation Portable. With TruFlow, you can browse through your favorite tracks in the same way you would with Itunes on the PSP.

Boasting the first version release of the program, TruFlow uses the same UI format as iTunes. To get started, all you have to do is add your choice of cover art for the song you have stored on your handheld. TruFlow will automatically index your music folder upon running it for the first time.

Here’s a list of the app’s controls:

* Cross: plays the selected album, select menu item
* Square: stops playing the current song
* Circle: pauses/plays the current song
* Triangle: displays/closes menu
* L/R: play previous/next song
* Left/Right: browse albums one by one
* Analog nub: scrolls through albums
* Up/Down: change selection in menu

The developer noted that there might be a slight delay every time a song starts, and suggests playing MP3s encoded below 320, to avoid any potential issues. If you encounter any bugs with the program, you can drop Da Merv a line by visiting the homebrew release thread.

Don’t forget to read the documentation included in the file bundle for instructions on how to install TruFlow into you PSP.
