Right now, many music players (such as Windows Media Player) have visualization options -- a sort of lava-lamp hooked into your music playing. However, these visualizations rarely, if ever, seem to be 'in time' with the music.
Provide 'visualization' data tracks on legit CDs to go along with the
MP3, if not build them into the MP3 itself. You could have one track per instrument -- so one variable of the visualization is controlled by one instrument, another variable controlled by another, and so on; so that the color of the blobs change with the increasing/decresing volume of the piano, f'rex, or the shape alters as the singer's song becomes more and more emotional.

I don't get visualizations. Does anyone ever actually look at these daft things? They're just to have on your screen during a frat party or something, aren't they? |

why not just get the video you strange strange person... and I happen to like lava lamps |

About 10 years ago there was a craze for electronic music to have weird sometimes-abstract computer generated videos, which you could buy videotapes of and watch while under the influence of drugs. But Norman McLaren was doing much the same thing in the 1930s. |

how do the various "disco-light" type devices work in conjunction with the beat? |

thanks, half, that's what I was looking for -- so is this the same as the idea without worrying about the tracks? |
