There are modern skins available to keep the front end relevant with its visual display and its flexible GPU driven visualization engine, in conjunction with the pixel shaders, make it truly stand out. It loads instantly and supports global hotkeys and has an equalizer which is totally fit for purpose alongside being super reliable. It plays FLAC, MP3, OGG, and online radio streams whilst only using 16 meg of RAM and “zero percent CPU”. There’s still a consensus that no other visualizer created recently looks as good or can sync to the music as well as MilkDrop. Both MilkDrop 1 and MilkDrop 2, source code (as well as AVS) is freely available so it can also be used as basis for other projects as well. As you listen your music in Winamp, MilkDrop 2 takes you flying through visualizations of the soundwaves you're hearing, and uses beat detection to trigger myriad psychedelic effects, creating a rich visual journey through sound. There is still a hardcore geek following that appreciates its user-friendly features and the fact that you maintain control over your downloads. MilkDrop is a music visualizer - originally a 'plug-in' to the Winamp music player, and now available as OSS.
Winamp may seem to have been pushed aside by the likes of Spotify and Pandora but it is simple to use for downloading, and you can store everything you need locally.

The 2007 update MilkDrop 2 works with any graphics processor, but to enable the complete range of creative effects available, you will need a GPU that can run Shader Model 3 or greater and can also be run as a stand alone.

You can follow the tutorials and join the forums to ask questions and get guidance on how to create your own masterpieces. There’s a whole pre-set authoring community that is dedicated to making the visuals bend and turn in ways that allow the programme to continue to evolve and develop utilising the power of the pixel shaders, why not join them? Each pre-set has a certain look and feel, created by a dozen or so short pieces of computer and/or shader code, as well as several dozen variables that can be tuned. Modify the visuals using the amplitude and frequencies that resonate with you. It builds using C++ 2008 and there are free downloads available from Microsoft. If the huge array of stock pre-sets don’t cut it for you, then create your own visualizations using the built-in language, which you can download as a zip from Source Forge.
