iTunes is ‘ok’ for managing music and provides a good way to sync music with iPods, but other than that it’s a pretty poor mp3 player, particularly if you don’t use the iTunes music player. One of the most disappointing iTunes features are the visualisations. They are just so dull an unimaginative.
Luckily there are a few good 3rd party plugins like Magnetosphere, discovered by One Tip A Day, out there. This free iTunes plugin will make you want to invest in a bigger monitor to appreciate the funky patterns. If you play your mp3 collection through a HTPC on a big screen, then Magnetosphere is definitely worth a download.
