Hi Kevin, Front Row was removed under Lion. There's a way to get it back, but if you have updated to iTunes 10.4, the new framework used for the iTunes Library music content prevents them from playing in Front Row. If you want to read about this, the primary web page is Ralph Perdomo's "Front Row Enabler for Lion" site:
http://www.mac-hatter.com/blog/frontrowenablerforlion This contains a download link to a "FrontRow Enable for Lion.pkg" that was built from 5 files from Snow Leopard (for those who do not want to separately copy over these files from your backup disks and build a package): /System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteUI.plist /Applications/Front Row.app However, as the author notes in his updated blog, as long as you use iTunes 10.4 this implementation of Front Row will only work to play movies and photos, since the new music framework is not compatible with the old Front Row implementation. You can probably Google for other discussions of the decision to drop Front Row support in Lion. HTH.
