Marta, I have a similar fascination with the iTunes visual displays. I had assumed that they were a graphical interpretation of frequency and amplitude of the music playing. That was before I tried running it with the music off etc. Does anyone know how this software is designed? Is the display influenced by the music in any way or is it really random? Just curious.
