== Mini player controls ==
While in the GUI you are able to browse all of XBMC 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.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-cropped.png|500px|right]]
A pop-up window with mini player controls can be brought up in [[Confluence]] while media is playing. This window does not have a default key or GUI button. To view this window you must map a key for your keyboard/remote using a '''[[keymap]]''' using the action <code>ActivateWindow(PlayerControls)</code>.
 
:'''''Example:''''' <code><nowiki><a>ActivateWindow(PlayerControls)</a></nowiki></code>

== 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. XBMC offers support for many visualizations and some of the following may be present in your installation:
* '''Saville'''
* '''Saville Blue'''
* '''Spectrum Analyzer'''
* '''StarBurst'''
* '''Boxalizer 1 and 2'''
* '''Fountain'''
* '''G-Force'''
* '''Goom'''
* '''Milkdrop''' - Arguably the best of all, with its mind-bending effects and the ability to fully customize it through the User Interface
* '''[[Vortex Visualization Development|Vortex]]'''
 
You can configure Visualization in one of two different ways: Through [[Music Settings]] or through the [[Music#OSD (On Screen Display)|On Screen Display (OSD)]] while playing the Visualization.
