Jazz Up iTunes Visualizations With Magnetosphere

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.

   OK, that is pretty sweet. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Sometimes at my computer, if I am listening to something good, I like to just take a break and gap out for a moment and my eyes hate iTunes. Thanks!

   If I really used iTunes and/or had a sweet monitor, it’d be right up my alley. But maybe I can rig up something so that it displays on my TV monitor during PARRRRRTAYs

   I installed Magnetosphere but I still get the default visualizer when I turn on the visualizer. Help!
   After you’ve installed Magnetosphere, quit and restart itunes. Then go to the View Menu, visualizer submenu, and select “Magnetosphere.” After you’ve done this, when you turn on the visualizer, you’ll see Magnetosphere instead of the default visulizer.
