How to Make iTunes Visual

Apple packs a number of visual elements into iTunes.

There are a couple different ways you can add visual flair to your iTunes library. If you want to display visualizations while music is playing you can enable the iTunes visualizer. By default iTunes software comes with five visualizations that pulse with the music. If you want to browser your library visually you can change from the text-based list view to the grid or cover flow display views in order to see your music collection album artwork.

Instructions

Enable iTunes Visualizer

1. Launch iTunes.

2. Click "View" and select "Visualizer" to select your preferred visualizer.

3. Click "View" again and select "Show Visualizer." The visualizer will only be active when there is music playing. Press the "M" button to change the visualizer while it is running.

Display iTunes Library Visually

1. Launch iTunes.

2. Click "View" and select "as Grid" to view the cover art of the albums in your library in a grid format.

3. Click "View" and select "as Cover Flow" to view cover art in a flow interface that can be dragged left or right to browser your library.
