    Hello everyone. Does anyone know if there is a 64bit version of the alienFX plugin for iTunes? The latest version only wants 64bit.

    Not a biggie by a long shot but I did like showing off my machine with a sound-to-light show :D.

    I haven't heard of a plugin for iTunes but I will definitely be interested in hearing more from it.
    Might as well use it on my AW17.

    It still works perfect in windows media player and I never installed it. I'm sure it came from the CC install.

    Edit: Actually it's nowhere near as good as the iTunes version. No zones separation, sad!

    Sounds cheezy to ask, but barring getting the new driver, did you need to upgrade to the new iTunes? Perhaps rolling it back would be a better option if you have in mind entertaining soon?

    Reason I ask is I personally only update iTunes when its required - when new iphone requires it for example.

    New iTunes is finally fully 64bit. I launches so much faster than it did before and works a lot faster as well. I would highly recommend for anyone using iTunes to upgrade to this particular version, unless you are using any 32bit only plug-ins you require.

    Haha, it is so cheesy but it impresses the console kiddies! I needed to update to update my iphone. I could probably roll back but if I really want to show it off media player still works. just not as well since it does not differentiate the zones.

    And as mentioned it loads a lot faster :).

    Onwards, see my sig....
