    I really like itunes so far with Winamp being second.

    My question is which audio program (winamp itunes wmp, etc) has the best?

    which makes the most complex and diverse (and random) patterns?

    I want something so AMAZING that...


    I fall

    in LOVE with this visualization.

    I could watch it forever.

    I think WMP does. I'm not really into that, but I used to mess with the settings when I was bored. Frooze my PC alot. This was when I was using Win ME.

    It's nice if your daydreaming tho. Especially songs with bass.

    I personally liked visualizations with chillout music because it really gives a nice calm feeling with the pretty colours and such. I personally rather WMP for visualizations and I remember you can download addon packs for extra visualizations in WMP.

    Last time I checked, an audio player plays music for your ears, not eyes. Why do you need visualizations? Oh yeah, they are cool.

    You can modify foobar2000 to do whatever you want. If you want great visuals, add it:

    I'm always doing something else besides listening to music, so I never use visuals

    I don't like how iTunes' visualizer is kind of...random. Like in WMP, the visualizer actually kind of follows the music (a sudden loud beat causes a larger ripple, or maybe that's just my imagination).

    Second the WinAmp. I like to use the AVS ones as wallpaper (desktop overlay mode).

    Amen.
    People actually stop and stare speechless at my screen when I run Milkdrop fullscreen and full resolution on my lappy. It's mesmerizing.
