100% agree. Milkdrop visualisations were awesome. There are some replacements available (you can check out Plane 9), however, I find them nowhere close to good old Milkdrop.

Or maybe it's just nostalgia?



Milkdrop lives on in ProjectM, the community maintained open source fork of the final milkdrop source release:

- https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectM

There's even pulseaudio/JACK versions of projectM that allow you to pipe any audio source into projectM to visualize. Enjoy!


I always find projectM looks nowhere near as cool as milkdrop even on the same presets, but I’m not sure why..
