Just gave this a whirl and it's pretty neat! Some feedback:

- App looks very pretty. Highlights are the subtle animations when scrolling long lists in the Library, and using album art in individual rows.

- I like the output of the visualizer. The glitch transition between tracks looks great.

- Having the visualizer in the background while browsing music is a bit distracting.

- Definitely needs some default imagery for the visualizer, I expected it to work out of the box.

- Took a really long time to index my music collection (about 20 minutes for metadata and another 5 minutes to generate thumbnails). This is for 81,000 songs w/ a high-end desktop computer.

- Under library > artist, `Unknown Artist` has almost all albums attributed to it. Most of my collection is MP3 with ID3v2.4 tags (artist field always populated, album artist populated when applicable). In Hyperchroma, most artists are listed with the correct number of songs, but 0 albums.

Probably not what you're after, but I think this could be very successful as a free/cheap alternative to After Effects specifically to generate the music videos. (rather than a music player)
