AIKOUSHA  Actually, they are no longer working on it. It was bought by Apple and now is the Primary visualizer for iTunes. So, if your iTunes is fully updated, just turn on the default visualizer.

HENDO  This is an amazing screen saver, but I wish it didn't jump around quite as often, there is not enough time to see each new cool visual

ASH435   This is easily my favourite visualiser. The effects are stunning. I beamed this onto the ceiling at a party.

Although there are only a few main themes, their ability to vary with the music are impressive.

As with all visualisers, I wish there was a way to run them outside iTunes so that they can be easily assigned to a second monitor (full screen) and react to audio from the built-in microphone. Any developers know if this would be possible?

TONYBOY  Simply beautiful.

I look forward to seeing this one evolve. My only small criticism is that for a visual display that visually morphs, fades and glides, there are, from time-to-time, what look like abrupt cuts between particle configurations. These cuts seem a little out-of-place and are a bit visually confusing.

This is a very minor grips for such a breakthrough visualizer. I still can't figure out how it seems to match the mood of each song: funky songs look funky, gentle songs look peaceful, etc...

Amazing!

MKLLOW  This is an amazing visualizer.

Not only is it really impressively beautiful; it also reacts in a new fashion to music: via rotation of view / change place of particles in a sudden way. This makes it really look responsive to music.

Well done!! I love it.

XENEX  Very nice!

Only thing that's missing is full-screen, but hey -- it's a 0.1 beta after all.

153957PHOTOGRAPHY  Try the good old '?' (well simply '/')

to get an options view, there is indeed no Options panel.

its quite simple:

M - change Mode (this feature rocks!)

A/S - add/subtrack particles (100 a time)

-/+ - decrease/increase intensity

? - show/hide options overlay

153957PHOTOGRAPHY  though I admit some Options that would stick to the next song/next activation would be nice, but well.. its still beta.
