4. Wax on...
Play with Particle. The visualizer reacts and adapts to your media player

6. It’s all still there.
Particle doesn’t replace your iTunes, but integrates itself into the interface.
You maintain full control over your music library as you woud normally, only
now manipulating the music itself becomes more organic.
