For the visualizations - Milkdrop is alive and well as projectM (which sometimes comes bundled with VLC, sometimes not?): https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm Which has a ridiculous level of cross-platform compatibility. I can throw up 3 copies of projectM-pulseaudio on my big 3-monitor work machine and have it listen to any audio sink, I've got it installed on my Android TV and it happily responds to whatever audio's being played, so works with streaming apps and whatnot. There's also thousands and thousands of presets you can add which the community has been adding to since way back when it was still milkdrop, and people have made curated lists like this person's NestDrop: https://thefulldomeblog.com/2020/02/21/nestdrop-presets-collection-cream-of-the-crop/ https://thefulldomeblog.com/2020/02/21/nestdrop-presets-coll...

My issue now is that there is no way to stream my music and make these visualizations come up on people’s screens I want something as simple as spotify over chromecast, that shows these visualizations on the fly The metric is: can I do this in a hotel room that happens to have a smart tv? Because it has to pass that bar, not the bar of plugging in a computer to my own tv’s hdmi port

  Bit late answering this, but projectM for Android does have the chromecast feature! It streams whatever audio is playing on the device along with the visualizations. iirc it does require you leave the phone/whatever open on that though otherwise casting loses the audio, that might be different with newer android APIs though.. Then there's all the other screen casting things like miracast or whatever, depending on what the smart TV supports (if it supports any). Smart TVs themselves are so inconsistent and jank though, I think I'd prefer to bypass all the broken bullshit and just use a HDMI cable.
