Is making a visualizer allowed with the Spotify API?

I have read the Compliance Tips and I'm still not sure whether making a visualizer to go along with a Spotify music player is a supported use case. I would be generating the visuals with code according to song data from the Web API. No other copyrighted content would be involved. Would such a program conflict with the supported use cases? Are there other visualizers out there?

I'm not sure if your idea falls under "Do not synchronize any sound recordings with any visual media, including any advertising, film, television program, slideshow, video, or similar content.", but someone already made a visualizer: https://www.reddit.com/r/truespotify/comments/1596dii/milkdrop_32_visualiser_with_spotify/

Well, Milkdrop isn't exactly a spotify visualizer.
