    VZX Music Visualizer
    If you enjoy music, you'll love a music visualizer. VZX Music Visualizer listens (via recording the audio) to the music you play and visualizes it, regardless of the music player. It works with YouTube, Spotify, Tidal, and others. Effects pulsate with the beat or build slowly with the intensity of the song adding details on the higher frequencies (like cymbals) and you add an extra dimension to music listening. You can change the speed and intensity of each visualization, making it more fitting to the music playing. The player also ships with many different visualization designs, so there's surely one for you to fall in love with. Since VZX records via the default sound card mixer rather than being bound to any particular media player, you can also record from line in. Connecting your computer to your TV and running VZX is great for parties. Most visuals have a degree of customization, at least changing colors, others have more options.
