iTunes Visualizer

A amazing feature of iTunes, where if you go to View>Show Visualizer the window turns into an amazing show of lights and colours that are in sync to the music playing. Quite beautiful, and a great way to start off a trip due to the colourful and memorizing properties.

David: Then you gotta check out the itunes visualizer man, its insane and i had an amazing trip after watching it for a few minutes.
