The iTunes Visualizer

There is a very interesting visual feature in iTunes that is quite entertaining. It looks like a screen saver that reacts to the music you are playing. There are two versions: the iTunes Classic Visualizer and the new iTunes Visualizer. To see a visualizer, from the menu select View Show Visualizer (alternatively, on Windows you can press Ctrl+T, and on the Mac you can press Command+T). To change between the Classic and New Visualizer versions, from the menu select View iTunes Visualizer or iTunes Classic Visualizer. Figure 29–11 shows examples of the two visualizers.

Using the iTunes Equalizer

You can enhance the sound of your music by matching the built-in equalizer to the type of music you are listening to. To view the iTunes Equalizer, from the menu select View Show Equalizer (alternatively, on Windows you can press Ctrl+Shift+2, and on the Mac you can press Command+J and check Equalizer). You can choose from over 20 preset settings, including Classical, Rock, Pop, and R&B, and you can modify the settings to fit your individual tastes.
