Is there any place where I can download visualizations for VLC Media Player?

You'll be able to use any .milk files starting in the next version.

I'm not having any luck finding out if visualizations are supported yet, where to download the .MILK visualizations, and where to put them to make it show up as a visualization choice. Can someone confirm this is possible please?

I figured out a few things after a friend emailed me what he did.

I created a visualisation folder: (spelled with a s instead of a z?)
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\visualisation

I copied all the .MILK files from the following WinAmp installation to the new folder above.
C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\Milkdrop2\presets

When playing audio in VLC Player I picked ProjectM from visualizations.

It's working ! Next Question is how do I select next visualization or resolution options.
(I see no visualization controls/options like winamp has)

That should be visualization in next release, it is typo in current builds.

Tools -> Preferences (Show Settings: All) Audio -> Visualizations -> ProjectM, that is for resolution and other settings.
