Magnetosphere is the new iTunes 8 Visualizer?
Kevin Rose rumored a newer, trip’ier, more galactic iTunes visualizer, and now according to MacRumors, he’s confirmed where it comes from:
Magnetosphere had been available as a free download from the developer’s site until a few months ago. The author has since responded to an inquiry by Allan White that the plug-in had been “sold to a third party”.
Since CoverFlow was acquired by Apple and integrated into iTunes (before progressing into Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard’s Finder file browser — and the iPhone!), this certainly has precedence.
We’ll find out for sure on Tuesday!

and the track is Suzuki, from the album Suziki (which I have to say is amaizing!).

If magneto can do a virtual Lava Lamp then I’m sold. Just wondering how it would work on an iPhone.

I’ve been looking forward to this for a while, magnetosphere is the only visualizer anyone will ever need, lets hope its in the next itunes update.

The one built into iTunes 8 isn’t nearly as beautiful as the older version that they had. I hope I can find the older one again somewhere.

From the iTunes > View menu, you can select the “classic” visualizer, as well as versions called Lathe, Jelly and Stix.
