Get iTunes 7's Album View back in iTunes 8: "You may think that iTunes 8 has removed the Album View mode from iTunes 7. It's still there, but the activation method has changed. To get it back, put iTunes 8 into List view mode, then click the black arrow on the far left of the column bar to show album artwork (or use View -> View Artwork Column or press Command-G). Then select Album by Artist in the columns (Control-click and add it to the columns if it's not visible) to organize music by album.
[robg adds: Based on the emails and hint submissions I've received on this subject, the changes in iTunes 8 have made some people think that view mode went away, hence, this hint.]
