&lt;p&gt;(Claude helped with both the project and this post)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="the-goal"&gt;The Goal&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wanted my WLED-controlled lights to react to whatever was playing through my HiFi system — pulsing, flashing, and shifting colours in time with the music. The catch: I didn&amp;rsquo;t want a microphone picking up room noise, and I wanted it to work automatically whenever music played, without any manual intervention.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
