For those nostalgic folks that miss music visualisers

Back then I could run a music visualizer offline. I have no idea why this website requires me to log in to Spotify.

It doesn't sync to live audio it records/grabs. It uses the Spotify API that provides rythmn/intensity mappings for most (all?) songs. So basically the web page asks the API which song you're currently playing on Spotify and what BPM it has and it renders the visualization accordingly.

What is the license of this project? Before looking at the code I usually want to know that in case I wanted to reuse or contribute. I didn’t find a LICENSE file or any note. Does anyone know?
