I have a quad-core Mac Pro, and it was just barely able to do this after changing to a lower resolution and performance tuning AirParrot. Keep in mind, you will need a fairly powerful computer to render the visualizer, play Spotify music and beam it all to Apple TV. Simply play music on Spotify and run a visualizer in full screen mode while beaming your desktop to Apple TV. Using one of the many AirPlay utilities, it’s possible to beam your entire desktop to Apple TV. If you are really addicted to visualizers, there is a workaround. This is displayed momentarily when a new track begins. You will still see a small track information graphic (with album cover art) on the upper right corner of the screen. From the home screen, tap the Home button twice and the screensaver will appear. The screensaver can also be launched manually. This will display the Now Playing view after one minute, but then display the screensaver after the set interval. You can have the screensaver turn on during Spotify AirPlay playback by going to Settings > General > Screensaver and set Show During Music to “Yes”. The aerial screensavers are actually quite amazing. I sometimes prefer the screensaver to the Now Playing view. Screensavers are a good option for a visualizer, but they really aren’t the same thing. tvOS visualizer apps will not work with AirPlay! Don’t buy one! They also don’t work with Apple Music. I’ve tried disabling the screensaver and everything else. This means as soon as you stop fiddling with the visualizer app, Now Playing will be displayed within a minute. The main problem is that, even though there are visualizer apps, the AirPlay implementation will display the Now Playing screen after a minute of idle time. I wasted a small sum of money to discover this fact. Although there are tvOS apps that claim to work as visualizers, they do not work as expected. Given the processing power of the 64-bit, A8 processor, this seems almost inexcusable. They are absolutely mesmerizing, yet absent from Apple TV 4. Visualizers provide a graphical display synchronized to music. If you play music using iTunes or other music players, you’ve probably enjoyed using a visualizer. Next, turn Enable Audio Normalization on or off. You can enable or disable Spotify’s normalization feature by going to settings (the gear wheel on the menu) and tapping Playback. Most audiophiles will want to turn this feature off. For the purist, dynamic range is important.
You won’t need to constantly fiddle with the volume.
This is great if you have a playlist that draws from different albums. It keeps the level of music the same across different tracks. Normalization is slightly different from Apple’s Reduce Loud Sounds feature. Spotify also offers a feature to normalize audio.
