You can tweak the title, add a short description, and change the cover art before sharing with others. Groove picked up playlist sharing back in March and this bolts onto that work, allowing you to personalize a few details about your playlist. These playlists – Fresh on Friday and Today’s Picks – are based on the music you like and listen to, just like the others. Similar to Spotify’s Discover Weekly and Your Daily Mix auto-generated playlists, Groove will be adding 2 spotlight playlists to the Recommended page. And of course, there are provided presets for those looking to get in and get out. Dragging each grouping’s knob up and down allows level adjustment between -12 and +12 decibels. The new equalizer creates 5 frequency band groupings ranging from low to high. So, having an equalizer – a bunch sliders to adjust the amplitude of audio signals at particular frequencies – is a must. Sometimes along the way, the dots stop and show off by combining to form a representation of the current song’s album art and other graphics.īoth visualizations are ultimately just implementations of Media Foundation Transform APIs, so it’s not inconceivable that additional visualizations could come down from the Windows Store, potentially from third parties, in the future.Įveryone has a different take on what sounds good when it comes to music, especially with the near infinite combinations of audio hardware. And while the entire ribbon plane distorts, shifts, and floats around, the camera does its job at alternating between shots.ĭots, or Dottopia internally, fills the screen with particles that fly around a central but moving point, all while changing colors and performing choreographed moves. Ribbons creates paper-like ribbons, one for each frequency band, that stream in an implied wind synchronously with your music. They can be configured to show during the entire play session or alternate after each song. Like Windows Media Player, Groove will get visualization support – animated images based on the amplitudes of frequencies from your music.Īt this time, there are two types of visualizations, each with its own set of color schemes. Here’s a (non-exhaustive) list of what’s coming.
And like in the movies, I crowbarred through the outer plating, crossed some wires, and gained entry to an internal control panel that allowed me to turn on (and show you) the new and experimental features. Microsoft’s music streaming app, Groove Music, will soon be updated with a few new, and highly requested, features – like visualizations.
