Audio Spectrum Analyser

Hello,

I have been searching the forum for a while now and cannot find what I am looking for.

I would like to create an audio spectrum analyser which takes data from a currently playing audio file (whatever program that may be) not recording through the mic.

I have seen examples using various audio recorder libraries and have tried to play an audio file and then use the input from the mic but somehow, the mic is then blocked.

This is the kind of thing I have in mind YouTube Link. Or the visualisation which can be found in Winamp for example.

Is there a library to do this or is this not possible?

Thank you for any help.
Regards
Mark
