Today I tried visualizing some music using projectM and qmmp. Using a qmmp plugin provided in the Ubuntu repositories, music visualization was especially easy to set up and use.
Unfortunately I found that some of the visualizations are quite buggy and can easily end your music listening experience with a nasty crash of the music player.
The faulty visualizations are part of the Ubuntu package projectm-data (version 2.0.1+dfsg-12).
Here is a script that removes all visualizations that are faulty in my opinion. I do not claim this list to be exhaustive, but in my case it ended disturbing crashes.
This blog is supposed to be a collection of random, unrelated, little ideas, thoughts, and discoveries, which I assume to be helpful to a negligible part of the world's population and wish to share out of pure altruism. If posts appear really weird, maybe you have the wrong kind of humor. Many of the posts are science/technology related. If you are opposed to that, stop reading here! Comments, criticism, corrections, amendments, questions are always welcome.
