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.  Cheers,

Esther
