projectM is an open-source, cross-platform C++ library that renders real-time music visualizations, reimplementing Winamp's MilkDrop. This repository contains libprojectM, the core library for embedding audio-reactive visuals into applications.

Use cases

  • add music visualizations to a media player app
  • render audio-reactive graphics in a game or app
  • play MilkDrop preset visualizations cross-platform
  • embed a music visualizer in a mobile app
  • create psychedelic visuals from live audio input

When to choose

  • you need a reusable library to embed audio-reactive visuals in your own application
  • you want MilkDrop preset compatibility on modern platforms
  • you need cross-platform support including mobile and web

When to avoid

  • you just want a ready-to-run visualizer app for end users - use the separate frontend projects
  • you need non-audio-driven generative visuals
  • you require a JavaScript-only solution
