Soon, there will be available an open source Win32 reimplementation of one of the best Winamp visualizations ever made: Milkdrop!
http://www.nullsoft.com/free/milkdrop/

It's called ProjectM and here's what the developers have to say about it:

QUOTE

projectM is basically a reimplementation of Milkdrop under Linux/SDL/OpenGL/XMMS. projectM already does some things Milkdrop does not (like infinite custom shapes/waves). projectM uses no platform-specific code outside of the xmms interface. Please port me.

http://xmms-projectm.sourceforge.net/

If the Win32 version and it's sourcecode is released, wouldn't it be easy for one of the great people here on the fb2k board to do a component for our favorite music player?

Milkdrop already works in foobar, you'll just need foo_vis_bacon and you're done.

There's nothing wrong with having a native version, now is there?

With an ongoing discusson of the winamp wrappers I must say; I don't miss Winamp plugs much. I used to use Winamp since 1997 or something... It was my player 'till I found foobar20000 in spring 2003. I fell in love instantly. I tried the input winamp plugin just for fun, but it crashed shit, and it's nothing I need that's not supported by fb2K (I don't own one single rkau or bonk file....). But I played with foo_bacon. VIS shit don't mean much to me, but milkdrop are the best I've seen in that department, so if it could be made native I'll support that... sometimes a good VIS are just what you need.... yes I want foo_milkdrop....

I would like to see a native version for fb2k.

No there isn't, but I just thought that Burrito might not know that it's already possible via a Winamp wrapper, so he could use it before a native version is released (being optimistic here).

Great! I liked foo_vis_bacon but I only ever used milkdrop with it, so a native version would be really cool!

Just wanted to let you know that the windows port of the reimplementation of the famous Milkdrop under Linux/SDL/OpenGL/XMMS is ready and available.

At this time, its just available as a compiled WinAmp plugin, "but the source will follow shortly"!

Imho, this is the time for a native Foobar2000 Milkdrop clone...

Btw, its even faster then the original!

It seems they are making good progress at the moment. See a lately post on their Sourceforge forum:

We're just cleaning up the codebase for general release.
This includes:

projectM SDK
Windows and MacOS iTunes visualiser plugin
Winamp plugin
Windows Media Player plugin (if I can be arsed finishing it)
Sample applications using SDL/wxWidgets

Maybe we might be getting a happy Christmas this year!!!

It would be nice to have an option to make it a panel and (if possible) overcome this limitation.

I just started using foo_vis_bacon the other day to run milkdrop, which is by far the best vis app I've ever seen. I would love a native version for foobar as well.

foo_uie support would be nice to have since I don't think foo_vis_bacon can do that.

Finally, after another long 4 months of no new info on this, the sourcecode for projectM is ready and available for download at Sourceforge!

A native foobar2000 Milkdrop plugin with window support is now possible!

QUOTE

This is a big release for us. projectM has been turned into a library to ease integration into anything that plays music. projectM itself needs nothing other than OpenGL. We now have support for libvisual. projectM for XMMS no longer requires SDL 1.3 from CVS, the current stable SDL is all you need.

This release contains source and (some) binaries for the following: the projectM library (projectM), projectM for XMMS (xmms-projectM), projectM for libvisual (lv-projectM), projectM for iTunes (iprojectM), and a small test app (projectMvis).

As stated above, projectM has been turned into a library. A developer only needs an OpenGL context to use projectM now. You open up a window with an OpenGL rendering context, and that's it. Look at projectMvis, it's a great example of how easy and simple it use to use projectM as a library.

Well I had a look at ProjectM, and noticed it supports a library called LibVisual. If I understand this correctly, someone just has to make a LibVisual plugin for Foobar2000, and it will automagically support not only ProjectM, but also any other vis program which use the LibVisual interface... notably the great open source projects Nebulus and Goom.

Ontopic : yes a native foo_milkdrop would be awesome

If I knew how to code I would do it. I would love a native Milkdrop.

Goom is pretty cool too.

More great news - MILKDROP IS NOW OPEN SOURCE! Happy day! If you go to the main MilkDrop page there's a link right there to the source code.

From the Authors of ProjectM on their site http://xmms-projectm.sourceforge.net :

QUOTE

5/6/05 - projectM 0.97 Released!

Nullsoft released the Milkdrop source code so I have fixed the behavior of waveforms 2, 3, & 5, zoom, and custom shapes (tex_ang and tex_zoom). I also added the Darken, Brighten, and Solarize filters. Things look much better with these added features. We also have some stability patches for xmms-projectM in this release courtesy of Richard McKnight.

So this is just the beginning. Now that the Milkdrop source is out, expect good things. This is just a quick release to show how much progess we've made in just a few days with the source. Expect more.

If I could code, I'd do it in a second. I think most people who want it are happy using Bacon to run Milkdrop, but I'd much rather have a native version. Probably just me being picky.

Thanks for the LibVisual link, it looks really nice. Only wish my ogl skills were up to porting this

I'd like a native version, that would hopefully support panels

foo_vis_projectm.

Short answers:

Panel: Not yet.
Fullscreen on non-primary devices: Untested. Maybe it'll work; maybe it'll reformat your lunch.
Unicode: Would require rewriting part of projectM. I'm lazy and that hasn't happened.
Plugin source code: Nauseating. Next release will probably be reorganization of code unless I get a lot of bug reports.
Potential for real foo_milkdrop: Directly proportional to my desire to sift through the Milkdrop source and figure out how it works, which is, at the moment, quite low.

I thought this would never come. I wait with baited breath for the panel version.

No problem here. Looks great and thanks for the effort.

One suggestion: Maybe you should start a new thread so its easier for people to find this plugin?

I have used projectM panel version for some time now. But everytime i put Bacon with Milkdrop on i see how much better Milkdrop is.
So i still would like a panel version of Milkdrop. So please make one...

Subject: Re: projectm for foobar
Probably not directly. I plan on releasing this as soon as I get everything stable enough. After that, I may consider making a foobar port, but I think the better path would be for foobar to support libvisual. libvisual is an abstraction layer for music visualizations that projectM already supports. so if foobar supported libvisual, you would ger projectM for free (and many more visualizations).
