== Mini player controls ==
While in the GUI you are able to browse all of {{kodi}} and even look at pictures while playing music or videos. During GUI playback you can call up the ''Mini player controls'' at any time. In the default skin [[Confluence]], you can do this two ways:
=== Sidebar ===
[[File:Mini player sidebar-music.png|x400px|right]]
While the sidebar tab is present and while media is playing, bringing up the sidebar/blade menu by navigating to the left will reveal a small selection of player controls.
{{-}}
=== Window ===
[[File:Mini player window-music-cropped.png|500px|right]]
A pop-up window with mini player controls can be brought up in [[Confluence]] while media is playing. For a keyboard press {{keypress|M}} while music is playing in the background.

== Visualizations ==
[[File:Visualization.mymusic.jpg|right|500px]]
One of the most impressive features of My Music is its integrated support for visualizations, which are a way to make your music come to life on screen. Kodi offers support for many visualizations and some of the following may be present in your installation:
* '''FishBMC'''
* '''Spectrum'''
* '''projectM'''
* '''Waveform'''
* '''MilkDrop'''
{{note|Ubuntu users need to install visualizations through apt-get. See [[Ubuntu binary add-ons#Visualizations]]. }}
You can configure Visualization in one of two different ways: Through [[Settings/Music|music settings]] or through the [[#On screen display (OSD)|on screen display (OSD)]] while playing the Visualization.
