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

You can configure Visualization in one of two different ways: Through Music Settings or through the On Screen Display (OSD) while playing the Visualization.
