How to Change the Settings in Visual Mode on iTunes
Apple products such as the iPhone, iPod and iPad, are designed to cater to the entertainment needs of millions of people across the globe and judging by the sales of the aforementioned products, they are pretty much living up to the expectations of the consumers.
Users of Apple products, particularly iPods, typically rely on iTunes to manage the music on their devices. The application serves as both a media player and a media library. It has many features and functions, one of which is the visual mode. Visual mode grants users a colourful display of their music on the screen.
The settings in Visual Mode can be modified to get a more customised version of this function of iTunes.

Instructions

1
The first thing that you need to do is to ensure that you have iTunes installed on your computer. If you do not have it, visit the official Apple website and download it from there. It is a free application and is not too large in size either, which is why you will be able to conveniently download it to your system. If you have iTunes installed on your system already, make sure it is updated to the latest version.
