Enjoy iTunes 8's New Visualizer Across Multiple Displays 2008-09-10 22:49:29 iTunes 8 was released yesterday and it brings a number of improvements over previous versions. The best, of course, is the new visualizer modestly named 'iTunes Visualizer.' As we anticipated, this new visualizer is an evolved version of Magentosphere, which has long been our favorite iTunes visualization plug-in. Hats off to Apple for acquiring this gem and integrating it into iTunes. Given the arrival of this sexy "new" visualizer, the time seems right to dust off a post we first made a few years back that explains how to enjoy iTunes visualizers across multiple displays under Mac OS X. An updated version of the procedure is as follows: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Since the mid-80's, the Mac has supported multiple displays. It arrived on the PC with Windows 98. The advantages of multiple screens are, to some, hard to envision, but once you have had a taste of what it's like to be able to take advantage of the desktop space afforded by multiple displays, there really is no turning back. What a shame it is, though, that there is no way to get iTunes to display its visualizers on several screens at once...or is there? We have heard many users ask how to get full-screen iTunes visualization across multiple screens, but never had an answer. Recently we realized how this can be achieved. It's rather simple, actually (and this applies to the Mac in particular): Open System Preferences Click the Keyboard & Mouse icon Under the Mouse tab (and/or Trackpad tab on a laptop) look for a checkbox labeled 'Zoom while holding...' - verify that the box is checked Choose whatever activation key you prefer from the accompanying select list (default is 'Control') Click the accompanying 'Options' button to fine-tune the zoom behavior Open iTunes, play a song, activate the visualizer in window mode (not full screen), and size the window to roughly the proportions of your multi-monitor desktop Hold down the activator key you specified while rolling your mouse's scrollwheel or double-finger dragging upwards on your trackpad Use the mouse or trackpad to center the iTunes visualization window so it spreads across all active screens (resizing the iTunes window may be needed) Voila! "Full screen" visualization across multiple displays [ NOTE: If your mouse lacks a scrollwheel, refer to the older drill that involves the Universal Access preference settings. ] This technique has worked out beautifully for us—have a look for yourself. Of course the fluidity of the visualizer across several displays will depend largely upon the power of your video card and the manner in which it is connected to the system (AGP faster than PCI, etc.), so...your mileage may vary. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - See a video of the action here. An interesting thing to note is the fact that, while the original Magnetosphere works with no performance hit across displays driven by multiple video cards, the 'iTunes Visualizer' suffers greatly when more than one video card is used to drive the displays in question. ::: digg this ::: << Previous story: Apple Announces New iPod Nano, Shuffle, And More...
