iVisualize Quartz composition for iTunes.

Overview

BeComposed is a Quartz composition for iTunes that MUST be used with the iVisualize plugin. When loaded on iTunes, BeComposed display the CD box of the playing album. The album cover and a bunch of informations are displayed if well set on the audio track (cf. Tags). At last, a lot of settings are available to personnalize BeComposed according to taste and computer power.

Many thanks to Frédéric Grasset, Christoph Vogelbush and Lionel Esteban for their help and informations. Thank you Maud for helping me name the composition.
