There’s a stock way to bring limited info into QC from iTunes but it’s unreliable (on my system at least) and doesn’t pass all the info i need. Going in the other direction, I may want to flip iTune’s shuffle mode on/off from the composition/app and communicate that to iTunes.
Is there some reason you can't have the visualiser app speak directly to iTunes via AppleScript or Scripting Bridge?
