How to get lots more kinds of music visualizations?
I've been playing with the DiscoParty app, Processing, and the python library for my BlinkyTape, and I have things working fine, but it'd be great to have way more types of music visualizations! You know how Windows Media Player, iTunes, and Winamp have a tons of different cool visualizations, not to mention the awesome things that DJs have with their lights at their shows. How do I get more of that?
What could I add to the DiscoParty code to get lots of different styles? Or is there existing python code for this that just needs to be ported to BlinkyTape? I was trying to get this to work:

but haven't yet been able to.
Any other ideas on how to make more varieties of light shows to music?

I think the biggest issue with porting that stuff over to BlinkyTape is that it's designed for a different type of LED strip. However...I think that you might find that you could re-use some of that code in combination with this python library: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/BlinkyTape_Python
As for music visualizations, there's another thread going on right now about that, including a new program I wrote and something written by another forum participant: http://forums.blinkinlabs.com/index.php?p=/discussion/97/processing-blinkymusicshow-my-version-of-discoparty#Item_5 -- note that those are Processing-based but you might enjoy them.
