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.
