- Turn on visual effects in iTunes on PC. Use the iTunes visualizer to watch colorful light shows. You can use the visualizer with or without music; the effects change based on the music playing. If you use the visualizer with a playlist that includes music videos, the visualizer shows the videos by default. You can change this setting at any time.
- Install plug-ins for iTunes on PC Other manufacturers make software, called plug-ins, that you can use with iTunes. For example, you can get plug-ins that offer other visual effects. Make sure any plug-in you install is designed for Windows.
So I've been using this album cover art 3rd party visualizer since apple canceled it way back on iTunes 10. I don't know about you, but really enjoy having a full screen display of the album I'm currently listening to. Now with the latest update, support for all third party plug-ins seem to have been flushed from the application.
I ended support for iTunes visualizer development in 2017. 4k speed test.

The plug-in displays the album cover artwork of the currently playing audio track with different effects: as flapping flag, rotating cuboid, kaleidoscope, with Vertigo effect, or as a sliding pane.
Lyrics of the track are displayed on top of the album cover artwork.
Artist name and track title are displayed bottom-aligned.

How to install:
Mac OS X: Put the file CoverVersion into the folder 'Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/' of your home directory. (Note that the Library folder in your home directory is hidden since Mac OS X Lion.)
Windows: Put the file CoverVersion.dll inside a directory called 'Plug-Ins'. This directory must be next to the iTunes.exe. If the directory does not exist, it might be necessary to create it.
If the visualizer menu does not appear in iTunes or a message says that the plug-in cannot be loaded in 64-bit mode, you also might need to install 'Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013' on your Windows computer.
After launching iTunes again, the 'Cover Version' visualizer can be activated with the 'View' > 'Visualizer' menu.

Preferences:
Mac OS X: 'Cover Version' stores its preferences in the file 'de.imagomat.coverversion.plist'. The file is located inside your preferences folder of your home directory ('~/Library/Preferences/').
Windows: 'Cover Version' stores its preferences in the file 'Preferences.txt'. The file is located inside the 'Documents and Settings{username}Application DataImagomatCoverVersion' directory of your system volume. To see and access the file you may have to turn on 'Show hidden files and folders' (View settings of 'Windows Explorer''s Folder Options).
If you have problems with 'Cover Version''s preferences you can always delete the preference file. 'Cover Version' will use its default preferences if it does not find a preference file.

Notice:
'Cover Version' does not fetch any audio meta data over the internet. Neither album cover artwork is fetched nor lyrics are added automatically.
'Cover Version' displays artwork and lyrics as they are embedded within the iTunes audio track.
You can check to see if the current audio track has embedded album cover artwork by clicking the button with the symbol . Lyrics can be edited with the information of the audio track.
Techniques:
'Cover Version' uses OpenGL for rendering the image data of the album artwork. The image data is accessed by calling iTunes' API for visual plug-ins. Due to a limitation of the API only one cover is accessible.
The track title is also rendered with OpenGL calls. The glyphs are Unicode-savvy. The font shape is generated with Windows and Mac OS system specific functions. The bitmap data is transferred into OpenGL texture memory.
