    Hey

    I don't know if you guys are aware of this or not but if you play a media file on windows media player, right click and then go to Alienware FX in visualizations, you then get the funkiest visuals for your movies/music all through your keyboard. You can configure it too via the options on windows media player.

    I wasn't aware of this untill I had a play earlier but its worth checking out. :D

    You can also do it with iTune and I recommend iTune because it seem to be better at detecting the beat than the WMP. And if you want a better control over that you can try Ingrater's Winamp AlienFX Plugin and the thread can be found here:

    AlienFX Pidgin + Winamp plugin

    But first also do NOTuse the device.xml that came with the link above because it will not work on the M14x, use mine instead: Alienware M14x Device.xml Winamp Plugin, thanks to Ingrater for providing the file.
