Install Windows Media Player Visualizations Download
The 'Visualizations for Windows Media Player' page launches in your default Web browser. Click the 'Download' link below the visualization to download and then click 'Run' to install it. Musical Colors is a visualization of twenty-one presets created by Averett& Microsoft. It is one of the oldest visualizations on Windows Media Player, and the visualization first appeared in Windows Media Player 7. Add a visual experience to your music by adding visualizations to Windows Media Player.Visualizations move to the beat of the music. You can make your computer a digital jukebox at your next party by setting a visualization in the Now Playing view and enlarging the Player to full mode.
Is there a way to add new visualizations to VLC?
The six included are OK but something new would be nice.

Jan 09, 2019 Visualizations are colors, shapes, and patterns that move to the music in Windows Media Player Now Playing mode. The Player comes with a number of visualizations, and you can download more on this page. Majority of Windows users prefer to use third-party audio and video players such as VLC, GOM, KM Player, foobar 2000, and WinAmp, and avoid using the native Windows Media Player.However, a small percentage of Windows users, including me, love Windows Media Player for its beautiful interface and default set of features that it offers. Visualizations For Windows Media Player 10 mediafire links free download, download DFX v8 313 for Windows Media Player 10 & 11, Windows Vista Skin For Windows Media Player(PPC), Windows Media Player 10 0 (XP) - visualizations for windows media player 10 mediafire files.
There is no current way to get projectM to work inside of VLC as a visualization system. But, there is talk and desire from projectM of restoring that functionality. There was a period of time where projectM was unmaintained.
You can see the maintainer of VLC saying in Jan 2019,
I really want it back in VLC, notably if it is finally using openGL.
So hopefully sooner than later.
Evan CarrollEvan Carroll.. a solution for windows:
1) Browse to the VLC folder, e.g. C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLC, and create a new folder called visualizations
2) Download the latest preset_samples of ProjectM, e.g. presets-2.0.0-Source.tar.gz and extract all the .milk files to the visualizations folder created above.
3) In VLC open Preferences from the menu, go to the audio tab and under Output select 'Directx audio output' as your Output module. Also make sure that 'LibprojectM effect' is selected as your Visualisation.
4) Still in the Preferences menu, click the 'All' radiobutton at the bottom left corner. Go to advanced preferences > Audio > Visualizations > projectM and set the 'projectM preset path' to C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLCvisualizations
4) Save your preferences, then activate the visualizations by going to the audio menu > visualizations > and select projectM
VLC will now begin using random visualizations from the preset folder you specified. With some tweaking, you can probably change the scripts to adjust how long each visualization plays for, etc. Enjoy!

I've not used it myself, but you could look at ProjectM, which apparently works with VLC.
ProjectM is an open-source alternative to MilkDrop and uses the same presets. You can find more presets at the Winamp forums.
(I use the Winamp AVS presets with Foobar2000 on my Windows HTPC)
paradroidparadroidIf you want to enable visualizations in your VLC media player then this article might help: Enable visualizations in vlc media player
Download the milk files from project M, and in windows, paste them to a directory and in VLC, settings - point to your folder.
