I believe it was a post you made about this idea.
I will try this mod out on my winXP machine to see if it's an xbox limitation maybe.
I think maybe you should rename the title of this thread, as it's not completely accurate. The visualization is not "always on". Maybe Artist Fanart (+facts/trivia) on the Music Visualization screen?
Have you done this type of mod for any other skins? If you have, or wanted to try that, you could probably move this thread out of the Aeon section and get a few more users involved.

OK, i like the idea too,
The MOD works fine for me, on my system I use latest SVN for XBMC for windows and the newest auriga , my system is windows 7.
I saw i couple of request in other posts to show artist fanart in now playing, and i think maybe another title can get some other users involved too.
Maybe like: Music (artist) fanart in nowplaying screen and scraped trivia info.
something like that ?

mhh I check and no is not changing on playlist automatically, just full album play
but if you go back to the home screen and back again to the musicVisualization/now playing screen it change.
weird, I have to find something so the screen get refresh on each change, this is maybe because the player treat the playlist as if it were an album and display the pictures that get from the first song in the playlist

Post the code you're using somewhere other than rapidshare (eg on pastebin) and we'll see if there's anything obvious going on.

Hmm, nothing obviously wrong from the code.
I assume you're referring to the multiimage at the top there not updating when MusicPlayer.Artist changes?
Have you tried adding a label control with <label>$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]</label> and checking that it updates when the track changes.
Cheers,
Jonathan
