Music streaming has changed how people control the music they listen to. The Spotify desktop app has equalizer settings tucked away and difficult to access. There's no native visualizers, either.
I've found a solution that involves integrating Spotify with Winamp, allowing the user to enable custom equalizations, visualizers, and themes.
Spotiamb (pronounced "Spotiamp") is a modified version of winamp released by legendary programmer and Spotify dev Ludvig Strigeus cir. 2015. It allows the user to login with their Spotify Premium (sorry) account and stream music through the winamp interface.
Although the Spotiamb page is no longer live, you can still

extract the visualizer code.
