Adding Animated Wallpapers to my Personal Website / Desktop Environment

Also last week while inspired by animated wallpapers I decided I wanted to revisit some features I wanted to add to my Winamp player, powered by Webamp. Specially I wanted to add streaming support and then get Milkdrop working which is powered by Butterchurn. It is easy enough to add Butterchurn as there are already instructions on their repository on how to do that. But what I wanted was an even lazier version of this code that would only load Butterchurn and it's presets if Milkdrop was open and the music playing. To do this I needed to add some custom handlers/logic which Webamp mostly supported.

SomaFM

Once I had this working then it is just a matter of finding a URL that can work over CORS which means you can go to https://dustinbrett.com and load a URL that is not from that domain. This ended up being easier than I expected because in my search for classic streams I recalled as a kid that ran on Shoutcast servers, I found SomaFM which was exactly what I was looking for. It has the station Groove Salad which is exactly the one I listened to as a kid. Although the one I remember as a kid is now called Groove Salad Classic. SomaFM supports M3U, PLS & ASX playlist files and works over CORS.
