I don't have any album art, so such a feature would be entirely useless to me. I'd like to be able to configure the default iTunes visualizer much like what WhiteCap lets you do.Sedulous said:I do wish iTunes could do more with the album art. Some of the ideas that first come to my mind are admittedly on the tacky/useless side. One idea is once the songs(s) are playing, the album art fills the library window. Of course, much like a screen saver, on mouse activity the art fades out so you can see the library again. Simple, yes? I don't need/like the visualizations (distracting and power hogging) and prefer to simply see the album art in large frame Plus, with the art up over the library during playback, it would look (to me) slick and simple.

Good idea. Unfortunately, your suggestion of adding art doesn't work for me because my albums don't have any album art that I know of. Approximately 90% of my music collection (including stuff I have yet to convert and add to my library) originates from video games. The rest of it consists of converted music modules (music in oddball formats you will never find on a CD or at a music store like the iTMS). All of my music is also outside the jurisdiction of the RIAA and similar organizations in other countries.Sedulous said:Indeed, having no album art makes any art related features useless. However, you could add art if you wanted to. In many ways, the artwork helps ease the transition from traditional media to digital.
How an album art organizer such as the faked image at the top of this thread helps anyone, I don't really know. My album art iTunes idea isn't really useful either but, in place of the visualizer, it is kinda cool. How about a compromise: normally display album art in the library window. When artwork isn't available, a visualizer runs?
