Plenoptic was a visualization for Windows Media Player versions 7-10. It is in the Musical Colors Family. This kind of visualization was a paint look-a-like. Unfortunately, this visualization, like Ambience, Musical Colors, Particle, and Spikes, was removed because it had problems with full-screen controls for versions 11 and 12. Actually, Sticky Keys XP recently as of 2018 discovered Plenoptic has full screen controls if you use it on a Windows XP computer with Windows Media Player 9 Series without a graphics card driver installed (Standard VGA Driver).
Smokey Circles Preset Variations
The «Smokey Circles» preset goes from blue and green to yellow and orange first, then later to other arrangements of those colors.

How To Get Musical Colors Back On Windows Media Player
Musical Colors is a collection of visualizations designed for Windows Media Player. The visualizations first appeared in Windows Media Player 7 and then later disappeared starting with the release of Windows Media Player 9. Over time, people enjoyed the Musical Colors theme and upon buying a new computer, discovered that it wasn’t there anymore. The following explains some tips and info about the Musical Colors visualizations as well as instructions for installment on computers that don’t contain the Musical Colors visualizations.
Compatibility
Musical Colors works on Windows Media Player version 7 and above including version 11 & 12. Musical Colors also works with Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. The only issue is that full screen viewing on a wide-screen monitor will cause the visualizations to be shifted to the left of the screen with a thick black bar to the right. This is because Musical Colors is not wide-screen capable.
Musical Colors Versions
There are two different versions of the Musical Colors visualizations. They are:
The main difference between the two versions is that 7.0.0.1440 contains a visualization called “WinMe 3D”, since that version was bundled with Windows Me. 8.0.0.4477 was bundled with Windows XP, and the WinMe 3D visualization was replaced with a similar visual named “Ice Crystals”. WinMe 3D displays colors of blue, light blue, green, yellow, and orange. Ice Crystals display shades of light blue.
Another difference between the two versions is when you pause Windows Media Player, version 7.0.0.1440 of Musical Colors continues to display the visualizations with constant movement. Version 8.0.0.4477 of Musical Colors will cut to black when paused, hiding the visualizations.
Locating The Musical Colors File
First you have to decide which version of Musical Colors you want. (See Musical Colors Versions above). Musical Colors are located inside a file called wmpvis.dll. The best way to locate the file is to copy it off of a computer that already has it installed or off of a Windows installation CD.
For Musical Colors version 7.0.0.1440
Use a computer running Windows Me with Windows Media Player 7 installed. The wmpvis.dll file can be found under the C:Program FilesWindows Media Player directory. You can also retrieve the file off of the Windows Me installation CD by going to the cabinet file win9xWIN_16.CAB and extracting the wmpvis.dll file.
For Musical Colors version 8.0.0.4477
Use a computer that was originally installed with Windows Media Player 8 and with Windows XP service pack 1 or earlier. Locate the wmpvis.dll file under the C:Program FilesWindows Media Player directory. You can also retrieve the file off of a Windows XP installation CD containing service pack 1 or earlier by going to I386 and locating WMPVIS.DL_. Copy the file to your desktop. Open your Command Prompt and type: cd desktop and press enter. Then type expand wmpvis.dl_ wmpvis.dll and press enter. This will expand and decompress the file to make it usable.
Installation
For 32-bit versions of Windows, copy wmpvis.dll to the C:Program FilesWindows Media Player folder. For 64-bit versions of Windows, copy wmpvis.dll to the C:Program Files (x86)Windows Media Player folder.
Note: If you copy/paste the command lines below, you will have to retype the quotes so they are ‘straight’. Smart quotes causes the command to fail. I keep putting straight quotes in, but WordPress reverts them back to smart quotes at some point!
For Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 32-Bit
On the desktop, bring up the run dialog box by holding down WinKey+R. Type or copy/paste the following line including the quotes.
Regsvr32 “C:Program FilesWindows Media Playerwmpvis.dll”
For Windows Vista/7 64-Bit
For Windows 8/8.1/10 64-Bit
Click OK or press enter, A dialog box appears with the following text; “DllRegisterServer in C:Program FilesWindows Media Playerwmpvis.dll succeeded.” Click OK. Open Windows Media Player and check your visualizations. Musical Colors should now be listed.
If you are using 32-bit Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 and you encounter an error message after clicking OK in the Run dialog box, try using the Command Prompt, making sure it’s being run with administrator privileges.
Names of the Visualizations
In the Musical Colors menu, you will see the following names. Click on a name to see a picture of the visualization.
Lost Musical Colors Visualizations
You may have heard about a theme for Windows XP named “Royale Noir” that was cancelled or removed during development, then was leaked to the public and became popular. One day I opened the wmpvis.dll inside Notepad just to look around. After scrolling though garbled unreadable information, I found the names of each visualization near the bottom of the file. What I then found were several names that didn’t appear on the Musical Colors menu inside Windows Media Player.

Lost Musical Colors Visualizations
You may have heard about a theme for Windows XP named “Royale Noir” that was cancelled or removed during development, then was leaked to the public and became popular. One day I opened the wmpvis.dll inside Notepad just to look around. After scrolling though garbled unreadable information, I found the names of each visualization near the bottom of the file. What I then found were several names that didn’t appear on the Musical Colors menu inside Windows Media Player.
Ambience

Ambience is a former visualization for Windows Media Players 7-10, also known as one of the «sisters» in the Ambience Family and in the Musical Colors Family. Similar visualizations include Battery, Alchemy, and 3D Alchemy. Ambience has a total of fourteen presets, including a random preset, that appear to look soft and calm. However, one of the visualization’s sisters, Battery, has twice the amount of presets that Ambience has. This means that Battery has twenty-six presets. Ambience was also one of the most popular selectable visualizations, back when it was still listed as a current visualization.
Contents
History
Ambience is one of the oldest visualizations, first appearing in 1999 on Windows Media Player 7. People really enjoyed the presets, especially the «Water» preset. This visualization lasted until 2005. But unfortunately, this visualization was removed in 2006, starting with Windows Media Player 11, due to incompatability issues with the full screen controls alongside the Particle, Plenoptic, and Spikes visualizations.
Color Variations
The Ambience visualization also fades in and out into several colors. When first selected, it is blue. Later on, the visualization will fade in and out into the following colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, light blue, blue, magenta, pink, purple, peach and gray.
Thingus Preset
Unlike all the other thirteen presets (from Random to Down the Drain), which originally came for version 7, the fourteenth preset, Thingus, did not appear until version 8 arrived on the Windows XP operating system.
Windows Media Audio 9
This codec samples audio at 44.1 or 48 kilohertz (kHz) using 16 bits, similar to the current CD standard, offering CD quality at data rates from 64 to 192 kilobits per second (Kbps). The resulting sound quality is 20 percent better than audio sampled with Windows Media Audio 8 at equivalent data rates.
The Windows Media Audio 9 codec (WMA 9) supports variable bit rate encoding (VBR), which enables even higher quality audio at smaller file sizes by automatically varying the encoding bit rate according to the complexity of the audio data. With VBR, the encoding bit rate increases to capture complex sections of data and then decreases to maximize the compression of the less complex sections, producing compact, high-quality compression.
WMA 9 is backward-compatible with previous Windows Media Audio-compatible decoders, which means that WMA 9 content can be played with previous versions of Windows Media Player or older consumer electronic devices that support Windows Media. As with all Windows Media 9 Series codecs, it supports the Windows Media digital rights management platform, which is used to securely package and distribute copy-protected digital media.
Windows Media Audio 10 Professional
Windows Media Audio 10 Professional (WMA 10 Pro) is the most flexible Windows Media audio codec available – supporting profiles that include everything from full-resolution 24-bit/96 kHz audio in stereo, 5.1 channel, or even 7.1 channel surround sound, to highly efficient mobile capabilities at 24 Kbps to 96 Kbps for stereo, and 128 Kbps to 256 Kbps for 5.1-channel sound. WMA 10 Pro offers incredible quality for consumers using high-fidelity hardware and 5.1 channel surround sound-equipped computers — and for consumers playing audio content on their mobile devices. WMA 10 Pro supports streaming, progressive download, or download-and-play delivery at 128 to 768 Kbps.
When using 5.1 surround sound audio compressed at 384 Kbps with WMA 10 Pro, most listeners cannot discern any differences between the compressed music and the original pulse code modulation (PCM) files. WMA Pro also offers dynamic range control using the maximum and average audio amplitudes that are calculated during the encoding process. Using the Quiet Mode feature in Windows Media Player 9 and later, users can hear either the full dynamic range, a medium difference range up to 12 decibels (dB) above the average, or a little difference range up to 6 dB above the average.
If a user tries to play back a file that was encoded using the 5.1 channel, 24-bit, 96 kHz sampling capabilities, but does not have a system or sound card that supports multi-channel or high-resolution sound, multiple channels are combined into stereo audio (for example, 16-bit, two channel audio), ensuring that users get the best playback experience their systems can provide.
The following table compares WMA Pro to competing compression technology.
| Audio Data | Industry Compression* | Windows Media* | Compression Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 ch x 48 kHz x 16 bits | Dolby Digital 2.0 at 220 Kbps | WMA 10 Pro at 128 Kbps | 1.7:1 |
| 6 ch x 48 kHz x 20 bits | Dolby Digital 5.1 at 384 Kbps | WMA 10 Pro at 192–256 Kbps | 1.5–2:1 |
| 6 ch x 48 kHz x 24 bits | DTS 5.1 at 1,536 Kbps | WMA 10 Pro at 768 Kbps | 2:1 |
Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless
The audio quality of content that is compressed using this codec is the best of all Windows Media Audio codecs. It creates a bit-for-bit duplicate of the original audio file so that no data is lost, which makes it ideal for archiving content masters.
Depending on the complexity of the original, content will be compressed at a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. Although this is lower than the ratio achieved with other Windows Media Audio 9 Series codecs, it provides the same benefits of compression while leaving the data intact.
Like Windows Media Audio 9 Professional, the Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless codec also offers dynamic range control using the maximum and average audio amplitudes that are calculated during the encoding process. Using the Quiet Mode feature in Windows Media Player 9 and later, users can hear the full dynamic range, a medium difference range up to 12 dB above the average, or a little difference range up to 6 dB above the average.
Windows Media Audio 9 Voice
This low-bit-rate codec is primarily targeted for speech content, but performs very well with mixed-mode content that includes both voice and music. In voice mode, the codec takes advantage of the relatively less complicated and narrower frequency range of the human voice to maximize compression. In music mode, the codec operates like the standard Windows Media Audio 9 codec. Encoded content can be configured to switch between voice and music modes automatically.
The Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codec offers superior quality for low-bit-rate streaming scenarios (less than 20 Kbps), such as radio broadcasts, advertising, e-books, podcasts, and voiceovers. The voice codec can also compress content to as low as 4 Kbps at 8 kHz.
Compatibility
The following table outlines what your audience will experience when playing Windows Media Audio 9 Series content on earlier Microsoft Windows operating systems than Windows XP or with earlier versions of Windows Media Player. This table also lists the compatibility for Apple Mac OS X and Windows CE–based platforms.

In 2006, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) formally published the Final Specification for SMPTE 421M, also known as VC-1. Formal standardization of VC-1 represents the culmination of years of technical scrutiny by over 75 companies, leading to a codec that is well-documented, extremely stable, easily licensable, and accepted by the industry. VC-1 supports three profiles: Simple, Main, and Advanced. The Simple and Main profiles have been complete for several years, and existing implementations such as WMV 9 have long supported the creation and playback of content using these profiles, as well as an early implementation of the Advanced profile. The completion of the Advanced profile and consequent standardization of all profiles in VC-1 represents the final step in a comprehensive specification that delivers high definition content—either interlaced or progressive—across any medium and to any capable device.
Windows Media Video 9
Windows Media Video 9 is the Microsoft implementation of the VC-1 SMPTE standard. It supports Simple, Main, and Advanced profiles.
Simple and Main Profiles
The Windows Media Video 9 Simple and Main profiles fully conform to the SMPTE VC-1 standard and provide high-quality video for streaming and downloading. These profiles support a wide range of bit rates, from high-definition content at one-half to one-third the bit rate of MPEG-2, to low-bit-rate Internet video delivered over a dial-up modem. This codec also supports professional-quality downloadable video with two-pass and variable bit rate (VBR) encoding. Windows Media Video 9 is already supported by a wide variety of players and devices.
Advanced Profile
The Windows Media Video 9 Advanced profile fully conforms to the SMPTE VC-1 standard, supports interlaced content, and is transport-independent. Content creators can use this profile to deliver either progressive or interlaced content at data rates as low as one-third that of the MPEG-2 codec—with the same quality as MPEG-2.
In the past, interlaced video content was always de-interlaced before encoding with the Windows Media Video codec. Now, encoding applications such as Windows Media 9 Series, and third-party encoding solutions can support compression of interlaced content without first converting it to progressive content. Maintaining interlacing in an encoded file is important if the content is ever rendered on an interlaced display, such as a television.
Transport independence also enables the delivery of Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile over systems that are not Windows Media-based, such as standards-based broadcast infrastructures (through native MPEG-2 transport streams), wireless infrastructures (using real-time transfer protocol [RTP]), or even DVDs.
The following table compares Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile to competing compression technology.
| Video Data | Industry Compression* | Windows Media* | Compression Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480/24p 720×480 pixels/frame x 8 bits per channel x 24 fps | MPEG-2 at 4–6 Mbps | Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile at 1.3–2 Mbps | 3:1 |
| 480/30i 720×480 pixels/frame x 8 bits per channel x 30 fps | MPEG-2 at 6–8 Mbps | Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile at 2–4 Mbps | 2–3:1 |
| 720/24p 1280×720 pixels/frame x 8 bits per channel x 24 fps | MPEG-2 at 19 Mbps | Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile at 5–8 Mbps | 2.4–3.8:1 |
Windows Media Video 9 Screen
The Windows Media Video 9 Screen codec is optimized for compressing sequential screen shots and highly static video that is captured from the computer display, which makes it ideal for delivering demos or demonstrating computer use for training. The codec takes advantage of the typical image simplicity and relative lack of motion to achieve a very high compression ratio.
During the encoding process, the codec automatically switches between lossy and lossless encoding modes, depending on the complexity of the video data. For complex data, the lossless mode preserves an exact copy of the data. For less complex data, the lossy mode discards some data to achieve a higher compression ratio. By automatically switching between these two modes, the codec maintains video quality while maximizing compression.
Overall, the Windows Media Video 9 Screen codec delivers better handling of bitmap images and screen motion, even on relatively modest CPUs. It is also up to 100 times more efficient than the commonly-used run length encoding.
Windows Media Video 9 Image Version 2
The Windows Media Video 9 Image Version 2 codec is different from the other video codecs. Instead of processing uncompressed video, it transforms still images into video by using pan, zoom, and cross-fade transitions between clips to create an unlimited number of effects.
The results can then be delivered at data rates as low as 20 kilobits per second (Kbps). These files are compressed using either constant bit rate (CBR) or one-pass variable bit rate (VBR) modes.
The Windows Media Video 9 Image Version 2 codec is not compatible with the Windows Media Video 9 Image codec.
Windows Media Video 9 VCM
The Video Compression Manager (VCM) version of the Windows Media Video 9 Series codec enables earlier versions of encoding and editing applications to support the Windows Media Video 9 Series codec in file containers such as Audio Video Interleaved (AVI). This codec package also allows Windows Media Video (WMV) files based on Windows Media Format 9 Series to be played in Windows Media Player 6.4, in both ASF and AVI file containers.
Compatibility
The following table outlines what your audience will experience when playing Windows Media Video 9 Series content on earlier Microsoft Windows operating systems or with earlier versions of Windows Media Player. This table also lists the compatibility for Apple Mac OS X and Windows CE–based platforms.
| Codec | Feature | Player backward compatibility |

| Frame Interpolation | Requires Windows Media Player 9 Series (or Software Development Kit) or later and Windows XP. | |
| Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile | General | Windows Media Player 7 or later |
| Windows Media Video 9 Screen | General | Windows Media Player 7 or later |
| Windows Media Video 9 Image Version 2 | General | Windows Media Player 7 or later |

Musical Colors is a collection of visualizations designed for Windows Media Player. The visualizations first appeared in Windows Media Player 7 and then later disappeared starting with the release of Windows Media Player 9. Over time, people enjoyed the Musical Colors theme and upon buying a new computer, discovered that it wasn’t there anymore. The following explains some tips and info about the Musical Colors visualizations as well as instructions for installment on computers that don’t contain the Musical Colors visualizations.
Compatibility
Musical Colors works on Windows Media Player version 7 and above including version 11 & 12. Musical Colors also works with Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. The only issue is that full screen viewing on a wide-screen monitor will cause the visualizations to be shifted to the left of the screen with a thick black bar to the right. This is because Musical Colors is not wide-screen capable.
Musical Colors Versions
There are two different versions of the Musical Colors visualizations. They are:
- Version 7.0.0.1440 (Windows Media 7 / Windows Me)
- Version 8.0.0.4477 (Windows Media 8 / Windows XP)
The main difference between the two versions is that 7.0.0.1440 contains a visualization called “WinMe 3D”, since that version was bundled with Windows Me. 8.0.0.4477 was bundled with Windows XP, and the WinMe 3D visualization was replaced with a similar visual named “Ice Crystals”. WinMe 3D displays colors of blue, light blue, green, yellow, and orange. Ice Crystals display shades of light blue.
WinMe 3D
Ice Crystals
Another difference between the two versions is when you pause Windows Media Player, version 7.0.0.1440 of Musical Colors continues to display the visualizations with constant movement. Version 8.0.0.4477 of Musical Colors will cut to black when paused, hiding the visualizations.
Locating The Musical Colors File
First you have to decide which version of Musical Colors you want. (See Musical Colors Versions above). Musical Colors are located inside a file called wmpvis.dll. The best way to locate the file is to copy it off of a computer that already has it installed or off of a Windows installation CD.
For Musical Colors version 7.0.0.1440
Use a computer running Windows Me with Windows Media Player 7 installed. The wmpvis.dll file can be found under the C:Program FilesWindows Media Player directory. You can also retrieve the file off of the Windows Me installation CD by going to the cabinet file <CD drive>win9xWIN_16.CAB and extracting the wmpvis.dll file.
For Musical Colors version 8.0.0.4477
Use a computer that was originally installed with Windows Media Player 8 and with Windows XP service pack 1 or earlier. Locate the wmpvis.dll file under the C:Program FilesWindows Media Player directory. You can also retrieve the file off of a Windows XP installation CD containing service pack 1 or earlier by going to <CD drive>I386 and locating WMPVIS.DL_. Copy the file to your desktop. Open your Command Prompt and type: cd desktop and press enter. Then type expand wmpvis.dl_ wmpvis.dll and press enter. This will expand and decompress the file to make it usable.
Installation
For 32-bit versions of Windows, copy wmpvis.dll to the C:Program FilesWindows Media Player folder. For 64-bit versions of Windows, copy wmpvis.dll to the C:Program Files (x86)Windows Media Player folder.
Note: If you copy/paste the command lines below, you will have to retype the quotes so they are ‘straight’. Smart quotes causes the command to fail. I keep putting straight quotes in, but WordPress reverts them back to smart quotes at some point!
For Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 32-Bit
On the desktop, bring up the run dialog box by holding down WinKey+R. Type or copy/paste the following line including the quotes.
Regsvr32 “C:Program FilesWindows Media Playerwmpvis.dll”
For Windows Vista/7 64-Bit
- Open the Start Menu and type cmd (Command Prompt) in the search box.
- In the search results, right-click on cmd and select Run as Administrator.
- In the Command Prompt, type cd windowssyswow64 and hit enter.
- Then type Regsvr32 “C:Program Files (x86)Windows Media Playerwmpvis.dll”
For Windows 8/8.1/10 64-Bit
- On the desktop, right-click on the start button (extreme left side of the taskbar for Windows
and select Command Prompt (Admin). - In the Command Prompt, type cd windowssyswow64 and hit enter.
- Then type Regsvr32 “C:Program Files (x86)Windows Media Playerwmpvis.dll”
and select Command Prompt (Admin).Click OK or press enter, A dialog box appears with the following text; “DllRegisterServer in C:Program FilesWindows Media Playerwmpvis.dll succeeded.” Click OK. Open Windows Media Player and check your visualizations. Musical Colors should now be listed.
If you are using 32-bit Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 and you encounter an error message after clicking OK in the Run dialog box, try using the Command Prompt, making sure it’s being run with administrator privileges.
Names of the Visualizations
In the Musical Colors menu, you will see the following names. Click on a name to see a picture of the visualization.
- Night Lights
- Colors in Motion
- Aurora
- Rhythmic Colors
- Star Power
- Electric Green
- Soft Fire
- Silky Wave
- CutOut

Lost Musical Colors Visualizations
You may have heard about a theme for Windows XP named “Royale Noir” that was cancelled or removed during development, then was leaked to the public and became popular. One day I opened the wmpvis.dll inside Notepad just to look around. After scrolling though garbled unreadable information, I found the names of each visualization near the bottom of the file. What I then found were several names that didn’t appear on the Musical Colors menu inside Windows Media Player.
- Stalactite
- Rolling Colors
- Wild Rock
- Red Rock
- Color Cave
- Lighting
- Untitled – (Labeled as “Work in Progress”)
- Colors in Motion in Progress – (Early version of “Colors in Motion”?)
These missing visualizations are listed in both versions of Musical Colors. These visualizations were probably intended to be included with the rest of the Musical Colors visualizations, but were probably removed because they were not finished, incomplete, or had issues. I am not sure if these visualizations themselves exist in he wmpvis.dll file. What’s interesting is that in version 7.0.0.1440, “Ice Crystals” appears inside the wmpvis.dll file but is not listed in Windows Media Player. “WinMe 3D” is also appears in version 8.0.0.4477 and is not listed in Windows Media Player. This makes me think that the missing visualizations are possibly included in the wmpvis.dll file, but are turned off or ignored so that Windows Media Player does not list them. After various searches on the Internet, I did not find anything about these missing visuals.
Хотя в наши дни большинство людей транслируют музыку, некоторые предпочитают иметь собственную аудиотеку. Если вы придерживаетесь такого же мышления, вероятно, вам также интересно по-прежнему использовать Windows Media Player.
Несмотря на многочисленные современные альтернативы, есть что-то ностальгическое по поводу загрузки вашего любимого альбома в WMP и просмотра этих классических визуализаторов. Однако, если вам надоел предустановленный визуализатор, мы шокируем вас некоторыми из самых крутых альтернативных визуализаторов.
Для большинства этих различных визуализаторов вы сможете получить их в одном месте: на веб-сайте Microsoft. Откройте Windows Media Player и начните воспроизведение аудиофайла. Нажмите кнопку «Сейчас исполняется», чтобы просмотреть окно «Сейчас исполняется».
В окне «Сейчас исполняется» щелкните правой кнопкой мыши и наведите указатель мыши на «Визуализации». Внизу списка выберите Загрузить визуализацию, чтобы перейти на веб-сайт поддержки Microsoft.
Обратите внимание, что Microsoft официально больше не поддерживает Windows Media Player. Загрузки, доступные на этом сайте, не могут быть загружены безопасным образом, поэтому читатели делают это на свой страх и риск.
На сайте поддержки щелкните правой кнопкой мыши кнопку «Загрузить» для нужного визуализатора и выберите «Сохранить ссылку как». После загрузки исполняемого файла запустите его, чтобы установить новый визуализатор.
Если все сработало, вы должны найти новую опцию в контекстном меню Windows Media Player.

Итак, теперь вы знаете, где их взять и как использовать, но какой из этих визуализаторов Windows Media Player самый крутой? Мы составили для вас список самых интересных.
1. Пакет Psychedelia Viz
В этот пакет входит семь новых визуализаторов, которые вы можете попробовать, и, как следует из названия, все может стать немного странным. Помимо 3D-версии визуализатора обложек альбомов, вы также получаете доступ к большему количеству психоделических визуальных эффектов, чем музыкальное видео Tool.
Особым моментом, вероятно, является режим искажения с гигантским изображением обложки вашего альбома, подергивающейся под музыку под голубым небом, в то время как текст лениво вращается.

2. Windows Media серии 9
Несмотря на то, что у него может быть самое грубое имя во вселенной, визуализатор Windows Media 9 Series отлично подходит для немного более расслабленного и тонкого эффекта. Он имеет реактивный бассейн с водой на дне и некоторые уровни звука, проецируемые на фон.
Одна из лучших частей этой визуализации — насколько она настраиваема. Вы можете изменить размер отображения уровня звука и удалить с экрана отражения и логотипы.

3. WhiteCap
WhiteCap — довольно известный визуализатор для проигрывателя Windows Media, и легко понять, почему. WhiteCap предлагает вам больше, чем любой другой визуализатор в этом списке. Вы можете настраивать формы, цвета, фон. Вы называете это.
Причина, по которой WhiteCap не занимает более высокое место в этом списке, заключается в том, что этот визуализатор не является бесплатным. Вы можете получить бесплатную пробную версию с урезанными функциями, но для полной версии программного обеспечения вам нужно будет потратить 20 или 30 долларов за золотую / платиновую версии.
Скачать: WhiteCap (Бесплатная пробная версия)
4. Трилогия III
Было много вариантов Trilogy на выбор в списке доступных визуализаторов, но Trilogy III почти одерживает победу. Все три пакета Trilogy довольно хороши, в каждом есть три совершенно новых визуализатора, которые вам понравятся.
Trilogy III — лучшая благодаря включенному визуализатору Mystic Cloud. У него не только невероятно подходящее название для названия, но и тонкий и жуткий тон, когда вы наблюдаете, как визуализатор вспыхивает цветом, только чтобы исчезнуть с экрана через несколько секунд.

5. Святочный журнал
Последний новый визуализатор, который вам нужно заполучить, очень ситуативный. Если это летние месяцы, вам, вероятно, будет меньше интересно, но визуализатор Святочного журнала — отличное украшение зимой.
Этот визуализатор имитирует горящее полено, потрескивающее в огне, и пламя танцует в точности под звук, который вы слушаете. Если вы пытаетесь создать настроение в зимние месяцы, этот визуализатор заставит вас почувствовать себя теплым, безопасным и поджаренным. Очень жаль, что вам нужно установить Winter Fun Pack 2004, чтобы получить его.

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. There are two different versions to this visualization.
Musical Colors also has a large collection of «sister» visualizations in the Musical Colors Family. Shockingly, later on starting with the Windows Media Player 9 and 10 Series, Musical Colors had disappeared. This occurred because It had certain issues with certain video cards. Fortunately, it can be reinstalled by following these steps below. Musical Colors is the only downloadable visualization left remaining.

Windows Media Player проигрываем практически все форматы медиафалов, видео, музыку и тому подобное. Поэтому, какими бы плеерами мы не пользовались, в «экстремальной» ситуации бросаемся к старому доброму «ослику», созданному в лабораториях компании Windows.
Проигрывая музыку в этом плеере можно включить красивые эффекты, зрительные образы, визуальные образы плеера, которые выводятся на монитор, дисплей или даже большой экран и значительно оживляют музыку своим картинками, рисунками, графиками, спектрами и еще кучей визуальных «игрушек».
В стандартный набор зрительных образов Windows Media Player входит несколько групп с тремя десятками визуальных эффектов. Включаются они кликом на плеере и выбором меню «Зрительные образы».
В коллекции представлены очень красивые дополнительные визуальные образы для медиапроигрывателя Windows, бесплатные и условно-бесплатные, которыми можно пользоваться некоторое время (триал).
Любой из 18-ти зрительных образов для музыкального плеера можно скачать по этой ссылке. Файлы в архивах, которые надо распаковать, а затем запустить, как обычную программу. После этого в меню плеера «Зрительные образы» появятся дополнительные пункты с новыми эффектами.
