Replace visualizer with music-info #195

Hi there,

It's not really an issue - but didn't know where to post it sorry.

I would like to have the visualizer replaced with some kind of simple UI which displays the current playing song - information about it, maybe some coverart and what's the next couple of songs will be...

If an option to replace the visual could be placed inside the settings - it would be great but it's not needed.

The need for the above is that the visualizer is ugly and has always only been something nerds liked.

If the above can be made - i would be willing to make a donation of 50$...

Btw: great initiative and work so far!!!

There is another request for configuring the visualizer. I can imagine we add an option "turn off" there too... As far as replacing with cover art; one of the things I'm considering is having cover art embedded much nicer on the OSD screen, so that you can get to that quickly if you like.
