    Enable VJ mode in milkdrop in the new winamp, your desktop background becomes a visualization.

    That seems like it would cause crazy lag.

    So far wiamp is using 30% of my 3.0E. Not much if your just doing some browsing.

    I would argue Quick Look is a cooler feature, but pretty nifty with the moving background none-the-less.

    I never used visualizations unless I was walking away and didn't want my screen saver to pop up. Now I use it all the time.

    I never use visualizations. I've always thought the only reason to do it is if you are on mushrooms or something :p

    same, but not anymore.

    i use them because i like the way it looks in the UI.

    i can't get enough of this winamp skin.


    there's already some active desktop programs out there. it doesn't go with a VU meter. but my friend has something like northern lights on his desktop, and it does it's wavy thing similar to the PSP.

    anyways, he really likes it. i don't bother with all that fancy stuff. i rarely look at my desktop anyways. even if it had visualizations. because honestly don't "watch" them.
