Mp3 Player With Visualizations

[___]

Has anyone ever thought of this? I know there have been attempts for the GP32 but not for the GP2X...

An MP3/Audio player which also feature modular visual effects... something like the AVS plugins for Winamp except less cpu hoggingly...

Would definetely be cool! You can of course argue that it is quite unecessary for a MP3 player to have colorful FX whirrling around on a little 3" LCD screen... still it would be a neat way to waste precious battery time

Also: Does anyone remember Rayman 3? There was a level where you needed to guide rayman on some kind of a hover board through a warp tunnel... that also was filled with pretty groovy FX that reacted and morphed to the music... how is that for a skyroads like game? Could be done with simple Vector graphics, a bunch of sprites, plasma effects and simple vortex routines... no fancy 3d crap or high-res stuff, only plain old 256 colors (or maybe even 16bit if you really want to)... hmm calls for another suggestion!

The whole visualisation thing sounds a bit pointless to me (No pun intended). It'd be a needless drain on the batteries...

Did you have a valid use for them? :huh:

Well really not... and I also mentioned in my first post that it was a pretty pointless waste of battery time, but it would look quite nice on a TV-screen for example. You could take you GP2X to parties and have it play your favorite mp3s while showing off fancy FX on a beamer etc...

Or you could maybe make a karaoke plugin which has an animated background that morphes with the music behind the lyrics... that would be extremely cool! Imagine a portable Karaoke player that you can plug into your friends' stereo and TV!!! The mic would have to go into the stereo, too ofcourse!
