Skins of its own, and the classics

Spotifast comes with two skins of its own. Spotifast Tall is a small white ceramic ribbon round a smoked-glass core, made to live at the side of your screen, and Spotifast Wide is the same object laid on its side. A thread of green light traces each one as it opens, and a click fills the glass with MilkDrop. The glass also turns to an equalizer or your queue.

The mini player wears classic skins too. Load a Winamp .wsz skin from the Winamp Skin Museum, with its equalizer, playlist, and a MilkDrop panel in the skin’s own frame, or a Windows Media Player .wmz skin from the Internet Archive’s collection, whose drawers and scripts run as they did in Windows Media Player, in a sandbox. MilkDrop plays in their visualization areas. See the mini player in detail.

Spotifast's Winamp skin with its equalizer, playlist and MilkDrop panel, Spotifast Tall and Spotifast Wide, beside Headspace, Cerulean and Activate, three classic Windows Media Player skins, every one running MilkDrop

Watch them run, with MilkDrop inside, in the 0.17 film:

MilkDrop with more than 10,000 presets

On first use, Spotifast automatically downloads the original MilkDrop 2 presets and projectM’s Cream of the Crop collection. These visual designs react to music playing on your computer, in a resizable window or full screen. See the controls and preset details.

MilkDrop can also play behind your lyrics in full screen, dimmed until the words are clear, with the line being sung in the accent colour. Click the album art and everything else steps aside for MilkDrop, edge to edge.
