Of course, it is easy to be mistaken as no one really knows what Apple 
is doing.

However, my guess or rather why I came to believe that GOOM is 
implemented within iTunes, is based upon how the visual portion of 
iTunes behaves when the visualization feature which adapts images to 
music spontaneously is activated.   My "guess" is based upon long 
observation of how GOOM behaves within xine within the YDL environment 
as far back when YDL was in version 2.0.  I didn't discover iTunes and 
it's visualization feature until I received a powerbook as a gift last 
year and ran OS X.  I was able to recognize certain commonalities in 
how the visualization engine behaved, my "guess" is based on those 
observations.  And Jurvis it's really ok to be wrong now and then ... 
you do know that Wikipedia is hardly the bedrock of accurate 
information... right?  Wikipedia is however functional as a cheap and 
fast lookup when one doesn't have access to a quality and authoritative 
encyclopedic tome such as Britannica or other world class encyclopedic 
reference.

I'm sure you'll have better luck, next time..

To answer your other question, or implied question, I don't work for 
Apple and really have no way of knowing what they installed or how 
apart from carefully observing how the software in question (here 
iTunes) behaves when it is activated to visualize music or present 
images which "move to music".  As I explained, my success in this 
situation (the guess I made) stems from very close observation of how 
software behaves and what is implemented when.

Ciao!!
