A look at Leopard's iTunes visualizers

Wouldn't it be cool if visualisations were available from frontrow. Any word on this?

how come after all these iTunes years, we still don't have visualizers that are as cool & numerous as in Sound Jam MP?
(iTunes was born from the mp3 program Sound Jam MP, which Apple bought from Cassidy & Greene - for those who aren't aware)

stix - the coolest one of the bunch imo

Can only approve with poster #3 - if you want the coolest visualizer for Mac (or even the dreaded Mirco$oft junk), try G-Force (http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/), and if you like it, but the full version (Platinum). Never seen anything that kicks ass more: not a single visitor who was not completely amazed after seeing G-Force doing its tricks on a 40" flatscreen :)=). It's been round for years and I am still waiting to see anything to get near it!

Kaleidostrobe is still the best:

Your video is taking like an hour to load!!!!!

I made a quick video to show how these visualizers look like : http://tinyurl.com/2ssbl7 (50mb video)

It looks like it's slow (probably an accelerated 3D problem due to video capture) but it runs very smoothly ! :)

@Will > "I had better luck with the handwriting recognition on my friend's Newton, and we all know what people thought about that..."

Which Newton?

Yes, the Original MessagePad (OMP), the MP 100, the MP 110, and 120, all had abysmal, "eat up martha" sucky handwriting recognition (unless you were born in 1959 and learnt a particular style of cursive that it seemed to like).

However...

Newton 2.0's "Rosetta" recognition engine (Apple seems to like reusing codeames - did you know "iPod" was actually intended for a kiosk...) was actually very very good. It was developed and bought from Russian programmers and cost an enormous amount.

Arguably the best the industry has seen until Tablet PC, which was/is let down for me by the frictionless digitizer screen that most of them ship with.

I wonder if Rosetta-the-HWR-engine will make a comeback for the iPhone-esque tablet predicted for next year?

(Which none of us will buy because of Apple's obscene behavior over iPhone 1.1.1... Or will we.)

If the iTunes visualizer kicked in like a screen saver it would be very usefull

G-force platnium is the best. (Although trippin hard and basic plus gabber is incredibly intense)
