Existing users, 
It gets 3 stars because none of the competition for OS X 10.2.8 can display album covers in an enlarged format, but on my system (Mac OS X 10.2.8, iTunes 6.0.4) it has the following limitations:
a) Quitting the visualizer in full-screen mode crashes iTunes. This is not a show-stopper for me since I don't mind running it in windowed mode - in fact, I prefer it since then I have ready access to the iTunes controls.
b) Can't access the visualizer's options. When I click on the colourful flower icon that appears in the upper right of the iTunes window while running Cover Version in windowed mode, I get a window with a splash screen for the visualizer, but I can't get past that to access the actual options. An earlier poster here said you can access the options if you turn the visualizer on with no song playing, but that doesn't work for me.
Despite these two limitations, this visualizer does perform its basic function perfectly well in windowed mode, and nothing else I've been able to find for OS X 10.2.8 can do the same, i.e. display album cover in an enlarged format along with track info, so I'm happy and look forward to updated versions.

The options dialog for configuration should be visible again with release 1.2. It was a bug for those of you who are using 10.2.8.Sunday, March 19 2006 @ 10:44 AM PST
Works OK with limitations - pohld
I'm pohld who posted the initial review in this thread, and I can confirm what the author says. 1.2 works very well indeed in Mac OS X 10.2.8 on my 500 MHz G3 iMac. Text is configurable, all three album art display modes (plain, waving flag, rotationg cube) work just fine. The only remaining instability is when I am updating my iPod shuffle with iTunes 6.0.4 -- combining that operation with Cover Version usually crashes iTunes. But the problem may be as much with iTunes as with Cover Version, since even when Cover Version is not runing, about 1 out 5 times when I click the button in iTunes to disconnect the iPod shuffle, iTunes crashes.Wednesday, April 19 2006 @ 11:29 AM PDT
