I can not make visualizer plug-ins work in iTunes

I did a search and I did not see anything helpful.

I am using an up-to-date version of iTunes with no other plug-ins installed.

I have followed the instructions on this plug-in:

http://www.dr-lex.34sp.com/software/spectrograph.html (updated 12-06)

I know of other people that have had no problems getting it to work. I have reopened and closed iTunes, rebooted my machine several times, nothing.

If anyone else can point out a spectograph plug-in that might work, help is appreciated.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

As an update, the plug-in installed perfectly fine, and it works on my MacBook Pro. So I tried moving the .bundle package from my MacBook Pro to my Mac Pro.

Upon moving it to my Mac Pro, the icon changed from the normal iTunes .bundle icon to a normal folder. It also behaved like a normal folder. Double-clicking opened up the contents. And the plug-in still didn't work.

So the breakdown here:

MacBook Pro - Plug-in works fine.
Mac Pro - When the .bundle was moved from MBP to MP, it turned right into a folder, not a bundle, and all attempts to turn it into a bundle failed.

Any idea what is going on here?
