Some of these animations transported me back 20-25 years ago to the days when I would have Winamp cranking with its visualization plugins. Fun times. Cool anim

  MilkDrop 3 got released not that long ago and works on any audiosource. V2 was basically our digital fireplace in the 90s. https://github.com/milkdrop2077/MilkDrop3 https://github.com/milkdrop2077/MilkDrop3

    Thanks, appreciate it! I probably would've missed it. I still use Winamp and Milkdrop2 today and still have like hundreds of my own presets. Super excited to get into Milkdrop3 now, especially with multiple audio sources and this new "double preset" feature.

    "MilkDrop 3.0 is a portable program that supports any audio source" Unfortunately what they mean by "portable" is in the context of Windows only. :(

      Is it compatible with WINE?

Me too, but I'm old enough to remember TV interstitials looking like that.

True that! Though with Pentium MMX turning on those WinAmp visualizations led to significant drop in system responsiveness that I don't do anything other than watch those visualisations when I turn them on. Simpler, fun times though.

  Holy heck what I'd do to bring AVS back. The possibilities were endless... HOWEVER, I was with the Geiss/Milkdrop party XD so Geiss vs AVS; much like the editor wars, but with visualisers. So cool back then.

Those of us "of a certain age," may remember Todd Runtgren's Utopia Softworks Flowfazer screensaver. He was an Apple Registered developer, and we'd see him walking around the WWDC, in the '90s.
