Sound visualization C #

Question

I would like to create a sound visualization system using the C # language and the .NET Framework. This may look like in a Winamp application. Maybe there is a free library or interesting articles describing how to do this? Example: alt text http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/9982/examplel.png

Answer 1

You can try these links.

OpenVP (this is a free and open source music visualization development platform written in C #), see OpenVP Screenshots .
