That's a very strange link shortener. Please don't submit shortened URLs. They break the web.

The odd part is that the shortened link is just barely shorter.

Could it be that the submitter or whoever gave the submitter that link wanted to probe how many people on HN clicked on that link and where?

Funny that ShadyURL is also on the front page right now.

Cthugha pre-dated WinAmp visualizers by a couple of years, as it could take sound input from microphones and CDs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthugha_(software)

(This is a minor nitpick about the background, not the main part of the article.)

Wow great write up! I do hope ProjectM attracts some newer maintainers as it still is an amazing modular music visualizer, on the same level of the Visual Light Machine work of Jeff Minter (see XBox 360’s neon viz).

Long live projectM!

Wow, that is still around?

I remember using it ~10 years ago when I first started using Linux. Together with XMMS.

I don't think it's open source but this is easily the best visualizer I've ever used, in terms of graphics and simplicity in usage. And it's free.
