ADVERTISEMENTS
Hearing music alone isn't enough; Hearing music and seeing the amazing visualizer are most satisfying. Not only we can throw our stress away but we can also kick off our boredom.
Apart from latest iTunes 8 Visualizer, there are still many others interesting iTunes visualizer that can be plugged in easily to enhance your iTunes. To run your iTunes visualizer, you can use keystrokes Command-T and keystrokes Command-F to toggle full screen mode.
Let's see some funtastic iTunes visualizers.

Sleek and customizable music visualizer that gives you dynamic backgrounds and colors. Shown on the preview is one of the settings I tried to make; Possibly not the best out of the box.

Magnetosphere
It's a really wonderful iTunes Visualizer. This visualizer is even comparable to the latest visualizer provided by iTunes 8.

Note: Magnetosphere had been bought over by Apple and the enhanced version of Magnetosphere is what you can see now on the latest iTunes 8 Visualizer. However, some people are still keeping the original version of Magnetosphere.

Isn’t Magnetosphere previous version of iTunes 8 visualizer? I’ve read that Magnetosphere was turned into new official iTunes visualizer.

Sure, iTunes 8 visualizer was built from Magnetosphere. Apple bought it, and made it look even better and smoother. By the way, I think Cubism is too… cubic ! It doesn't look good enough. And the others are like…unfocused ! I'm keeping Itunes' default visualizer. ;) Thanks for sharing anyway !

Yes, for me, the old Magnetospher visualizer is very much fun and pretty than the new iTunes 8 visualizer. I hate the very big black spheres appears sometimes on the new. But tastes and colors ....

Is there good visualizer for displaying lyrics? The one I found is cover page, I think. It displays lyrics with 3 different visualizer settings. The only thing is that it does not have any settings for the lyrics text or scroll if too long.

If you're looking for a visualizer that is very reactive to your music check out Manifesto. I'm a bit biased, as I wrote it, but I think it is hypnotic.
