iTunes visualizer on second screen

CoolerQ · 07-16-2004, 08:44 AM

Hi-
Is there any way to place iTunes's visualizer on my second screen, full-screen, while still maintaining control over iTunes?
Thanks,

I haven't tried this, but you could probably set the second display to extend (not mirror) the first, then move the iTunes window to the second and control it from the first with some third party controller (Synergy, X-Tunes, etc).

I'm not sure how iTunes' full screen option would work on a secondary display so this method might fail miserably.

Yeah, I knew I could put the window on a second screen, and I suppose I could also just open a playlist on the main screen to control iTunes. But I don't know about getting it to do full-screen on the second screen. I haven't tried it, but I suspect it will just black out both screens or show on both screens. I think I'm just going to end up with VLC's visualizer, since I know it can play on the second screen. Can anyone recommend a standalone audio visualizer, perhaps one that can read from the audio input?
Thanks,
