Display iTunes artwork with iTunes
Authored by: Heiko on Apr 19, '06 09:35:29AM

I don't want to spoil your peeps party. But you can display the cover artwork within iTunes itself by using my little Visualizer plugin "Cover Version". Get your free copy at http://www.imagomat.de/coverversion/. That way you don't need to free your desktop estate to get a glimpse of the artwork. And you can even choose among different visual effects for cover display.

Display iTunes artwork with iTunes

I actually came across this yesterday independent of your plug here. I found that it consumes considerable cpu cycles. Additionally, it does not do what some of us here would like: to display song information directly on the desktop. The geektool method is really not very stable, and it consumes some cpu (but much less than your plugin). But it is the best option. Additionally, no desktop real estate is compromised, unless you do not want any items sitting on top of the album artwork.

Your plugin would be great on a deadicated computer for playing music. Run the plugin in fullscreen mode and all is well.
