    Different cause their different apps. No way to switch visuals between to different apps.

    You could email the author and ask for further support.

    I think they are one in the same. The only difference is when used in Last.FM the visualizer is displayed 'under' the red background of the Last.FM app.

    If you choose, you can back out of the Last.FM app by hitting ESC, which will still allow you to listen to and control the Last.FM music AND show the visualizations without the red screen. To get back full control of Last.FM just restart the app.

    So, after testing them both and looking closer...it appears they both use Boxee's Milkdrops visuals (or whatever you have boxee set to use). So, yes if you back out you can get just the visuals. Also, in boxee, every time you back out of the app the visuals rotate. The music will continue to play. If you go back into the app again, they rotate yet again. You can keep this up in Pandora and rotate till you get the one you like and or leave the visuals at full screen.

    Other than that, no way to control them in the app itself. Though, lastfm has a little icon in the top right corner that brings the visuals to the front. Hitting the esc button or right mouse button brings back the lastfm app. Each time this is done the visuals rotate.

    Thanks JC, I didn't realize that little icon in LastFM did this.
