In case you haven't tried it yet, press ? when you have the new iTunes visualizer open for more control options:

? -- Toggle help screen
M -- Change mode
P -- Change palette
I -- Display track info
C -- Toggle auto-cycle (on by default)
F -- Toggle Freeze mode
N -- Toggle Nebula mode
L -- Toggle Camera Lock

[robg adds: While I don't use the visualizer much, I do really like this new one. Enabling the nebula effect, in particular, is quite nice.]

Wow that visualizer is much better - i hadn't tried it until now. On a G5 1.8ghz machine it is MUCH smoother and faster than any visualizer I've tried on this machine.

Don't have a GMA950 Mac, so can't comment on that.

The Nebula mode adds expanding and swirling clouds. There's a super(?) secret Extreme mode that made Nebula much more apparent to me--just hit the E key.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use this visualizer as a standard screensaver?

Old commands from Magnetosphere still work too:

+/- Increase or decrease the intensity
A/S Add or substract particles
R Reset particles and intensity
