Doing so first required a strong foundational understanding of the OpenGL and GLUT visualization libraries. To build the visualizer, I took five main steps. First, I needed to open the music file and read the header. Second, I had to read in the file data window by window. Afterwards, I needed to apply a fast Fourier transform to each window. Lastly, I had to visualize the data and play the music. My end result was a Macintosh based music visualizer that allows …
