Hmmmn, reminds me a bit of rhythmbox (which i don't use as it doesn't like NFS it seems) but I must ask after looking at the screen shots at http://amarok.kde.org/ why do people use weird visualisations? I mean, they look great for screenshots but in the real world does anyone actually use them?
Personally no, but generally I think they are quite popular
People like bling .... oooh look at the pretty pictures (forgetting the fact that the machine is now running like a lame dog because 80% of the CPU and Graphics Subsystem is busy rendering vis:Cosmic Blur or whatever)
The situation on Linux is slightly mitigated by the fact that generally the priority of the visualisations gets set pretty low.
