Just like those Picard-obsessed skinjobs, the iTunes version is obsessed with planets and launching millions of photon torpedoes into them. The original, seen here, has more sparklies and lines, which is quite a bit of a different feel than the one you already have. Unfortunately Magnetosphere download links have been taken down everywhere, but we managed to find one linked to on the official site. If those go down, we've got a Mac Mirror and Windows Mirror too. Enjoy.

Instructions: To install it on Mac, put it in /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins

<![CDATA[Rumor: New iTunes Visualizer will be the Stunning Magnetosphere]]> According to rumors, the new iTunes 8 presumably coming next week at the Apple "Let Us Rock" event will come with some beautiful new visualizations. Now, new rumors say that the new visualizations will actually be Magnetosphere, a formerly-available plugin by artist Robert Hodgin. After seeing the gorgeous video above, I hope this rumor ends up being true. [TUAW via Boing Boing Gadgets]
