Cool visualizers have had controls for as long as I can remember — as a somewhat foggy-headed college student, I spent too much time tweaking Milkdrop and Geiss and listening to Tool. Laugh all you want, but they understand me. The new iTunes visualizer has impressed a lot of people, but even with these hidden controls revealed it can’t approach the level of customizability available in my visualizers of yore. That’s right, I’m calling humbug! This visualizer is second-rate!

You can pry my Winamp from my cold, dead hands!
