Hello sphere,

fantastic add-on! I really like effects very much!

I would like to make a suggestion: have you ever considered creating a visualization add-on based on your Multi Slideshow Screensaver? The idea is to use the looking modes you have already created for your screensaver to display slideshows of the artist currently playing in the audio player. You could use the pictures stored in the extrafanart folders inside the artists folders. Skins like Transparency! already have this functionality (extra fanart slideshow during audio play), but they don't have the beautiful look modes of your add-on.

So, when XBMC is playing music in fullscreen mode (tab key), the visualization add-on should detect what artist is currently playing, let's say Shakira, look in the artists folder (i. e. \Music\Shakira\extrafanart) and use the images inside the extrafanart folder. Then, when a new track starts to play, the add-on would switch to the new artist accordingly.

This would be a awesome add-on! What do you say?

Best regards,
Spider
