I don't know, but my best guess is that it's implemented using
OpenGL. In Interface Builder you can find an NSOpenGLView under
GraphicsViews.
The iTunes view looks like a set of rectangles in 3D space textured
with album arts. When browsing the library, these rectangles are
rendered using predefined coordinate transformations as a function of
time. With that I mean that the path the rectangles move is defined a
priori but to what position on the path the rectangle is rendered
depends on time. I believe the iTunes view is actually _very_ simple.

It looks cool. Any idea about where can I get a sample of such a
view or a
view similar to that....
