Itunes Visualizer Track Name
 
When using the Visualizer is there any way of keepng the track name displayed rather than it flading out after 10 seconds ?

Regards

Mike

Right get out of Visualizer and go to the menu options at the top and go to the Visualizer menu. then go to full screen and witch it off then turn on the Visualizer and you should see itunes bar and such and then select options

Make sure the Visualizer is not in full screen and then select options in the top right hand couner and select 'always display song information'

Remember it HAS to be in Visualizer and the options button willl not diisplay in full screen mode. (you can change the size of the Visualizer in the Visualizer menu option)

This is the same for both mac and windows versions

There are a series of simple keyboard shortcuts within the visualiser that work while it's in full screen mode. I'm sat in front of my work PC at the mo (sans iTunes :( ) and I can't remember off the top of my head what they are, but if you put your visualiser on full screen and press each letter key in turn, you will see some of them do have an effect - you can manually modify the effects (each visualiser effect is made of three elements, each of which is independently switchable), cap the frame rate, force the track title to remain on/off permanently, etc. One of the keys displays a basic menu of available commands - again, can't remember which, but it may just be 'H'. Experiment with it, that's how I found out what they do. None of the letter keys can damage it in any way, so you can thrash your keyboard in safety.

HTH :)

How do you do that? Do you copy the AAC files over and rescan them into the itunes, share using itunes shareing or something else I have not thought of.

I use the former, copy all my aac files to the notebook so there is a backup copy, but then I need to tell itunes to rescan the folder to look for new music, bit of a pain, but cannot think of a better way.

Well if i wanted to I would just have to put the files on disk and put them on the other computer but what i meant is itunes as a program is the same.....not the music i dont use my pc
