I'm looking for a program that will visualize anything that goes through my audio-output (in this case it's Spotify) and display it on the screen. Does this exist?
I'm running Ubuntu.

Try using projectM.
Either the packages is already in your sources or you can compile the source code from sourceforge.
There are packages for pulseaudio and JACK. ProjectM is able to directly use the audio output or your OS.

cava is a fun one. It's a console application, so it's fairly lightweight. You can also run it in an ssh session from a different computer on the network.

Had the same wish as Emil but I am looking for a "party mode" visualizer. All those on linuxaudio are too scientific. – Stephan Schielke – 2014-01-29T21:20:55.930

found Synaesthesia to be both beautiful and easy to use, it also works well with pulseaudio through the command
padsp synaesthesia line
website: http://logarithmic.net/pfh/synaesthesia
it is available in ubuntu repositories

For 12.04 it's in the repos. Chances are good you want to install package
