LiQuiD-MP3 is plugin for music players that allows you to display all sorts of music related information on a graphical LCD, VFD, EL or OLED module. This information ranges from simply displaying the title and artist name to different kinds of analysers, configurable as mono or stereo, build up of blocks or pixels, with smoothing, falloff, peakhold and sensitivity adjustment. It’s also possible to combine different modules, e.g. you can show an oscilloscope together with a playlist. Almost every feature is fully configurable, from text placement to designing your own background.

There’s a Windows and Linux version available. Whilst both versions have the same purpose, there are small differences. For the most up to date information on this, please visit the forum.
