Use iTunes visuals as a screen saver
If iTunes isn't playing anything, the above script will just go to a black screen. In order to use a regular screen saver in that event, you can use the following modified script.
I've set the module to Random, but you can easily replace that with the name of any installed module you like (e.g. "Flurry"). ---
Use iTunes visuals as a screen saver
Excellent little hack, makes screensavers more interesting. However, there's one function missing - if it's showing the iTunes visualiser, it won't turn off with a simple movement of the mouse, it needs a click or a keypress (usually I press space, but that just pauses iTunes, which is a bit annoying). I'm a bit new to this AppleScript malarkey, but is there some workaround that could deactivate the visualiser when the mouse is moved?

I am a complete AppleScript novice but I devised this solution: Now you dont have to wonder why iTunes is always running. Enjoy!

Otherwise, it was still launching iTunes, if it was not currently opened.
With that edit, I have a new screen-saver! Thanks!
