Just asking for a friend.
You know what… Why isn’t there just a plugin for Winamp that connects to Spotify? 🤔
I would totally use that.
Edit: Something like this does actually exist. It’s called SpotiAmp. Sweet.
Whoa! Winamp is still a thing? I thought you were joking! Is it still good or is it full of junk?
It really whips the llama’s ass!
I’d hope so!
Yup, you can also do some messing around with linein input on Winamp/Milkdrop to make it work right, but depending on the specific hardware setup it can be a pain. (It worked great from my aux speakers and totally broke when I tried to route the audio output through my TV/HDMI. This is a solvable problem, but annoying.)
Butterchurn is based on milk drop. Can run as an extension in chrome or from https://butterchurnviz.com/ alongside spotify. ProjectM runs on android, also based on milk drop.
I would love to find a Visualizer that would show dBbetween 20hz and 20000hz, to show the visual spectrum I am hearing. It always felt weird how everything is on the right when I check an Audio spectrum

I used to use this one when I was still mixing live music on analog gear.
I had a linux laptop running with jack2, on the headphone out of my soundcraft desk connected to my usb audio interface, visualing the input. (Which would be the single instrument I had selected or the entire desk output).
I’m sure it would work well for locally playing music as well.

It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but Philips Hue smart lights can sync with Spotify. You program where each color light is located in the room (location and elevation) and then it will dance the lights to the music, with light color scheme determined by album art colors (which is really handy for things like Christmas music where most of it is red/white/green anyway lol).
I use my spare hue lights in my garage gym so they dance to the music in my earbuds. I honestly love it - it gets me more “in the zone” when working out.
Otherwise to answer your question I use ProjectM on my android phone
