I just noticed this little icon in the Music App for the first time yesterday that I had never seen before. I've tried looking it up online and can't find a description for it. I've only seen it come up once and I've tried getting it to come back but no luck. Could someone tell me what it is?

Can't believe that after four years of having an iPhone I hadn't seen it before. :eek:

Do you have it streaming to your AppleTV? I think it turns on visualiser.

Yep, I have it streaming to my AppleTV and AirPort Express speakers. I've tried toggling back and forth or selecting just one of the two and I cannot produce that little icon again, so I'm not sure if it's an AirPlay feature or not.

It's driving me up a wall, not knowing what it is or how to make it work, LOL.
 
that icon shows up in my Apple Remote app. it toggles the itunes visualizer on and off.

if you are playing the music app from your phone, and have airplay enabled to the apple tv, it might allow for visualizer to your tv screen.

if that is a screen shot of the remote app, it is as i described above.

Thanks! You're absolutely right!! When I took that screenshot on my phone, I forgot I was using the Remote app and not the Music app. No wonder I couldn't get it to come up again. :eek:
