Winamp Presets for Audacious
Many users of Linux miss the equalizer presets that they had on Windoze applications such as WinAmp. The following terminal scripts will install the WinAmp equalizer presets for Audacious.
To download the WinAmp presets type:
wget http://www.xmms.org/misc/winamp_presets.gz
To install the presets for the Audacious media player type:
gunzip -c winamp_presets.gz > ~/.config/audacious/eq.preset
You can also install these presets for other linux media players that have equalizers such as xmms and BMP media player.
To install the presets for xmms type:
gunzip -c winamp_presets.gz > ~/.xmms/eq.preset
to install the presets for BMP media player type:
gunzip -c winamp_presets.gz > ~/.bmp/eq.preset

Thanks!
just... thanks!
keep going!
Thanks from a nOOb!
The Ubuntu forum has several ppl asking for help w/ this problem.
The whole key for me was the "wget" command in Terminal. After that, it was automatic. Thanks!
No Worries
You're welcome.
Wget is a really versatile application and can be used for such a variety of purposes. Wget is my application of choice for bash scripting with online aspects too. For more about using Wget check out its page at GNU and its Wiki page.
Tanks a lot!

Thanks a lot
Thank you very much :)
thanks!
useful to find this again and again... it is one of those things you ask yourself "how did I do it last time?" every time you need to configure a PC
Thanks
Super Merci! :P
Super Merci! :P
I owe you a beer, pal.

yes, but...
...but most of those presets sound like shit in Audacious, like somebody completely messed up an equlizer, at least on my system. Ubuntu 8.10. I tried more than one output in Ausacious, and those presets are still shite.
@ Wodr
Software presets are always problematic at the best of times and all perform differently on different systems. There are just too many variables for software equalisers to perform well on all systems.
That being said, I use the headphone equaliser on my notebook and get very good results. All of the other presets are pretty poor, but that's because my notebook has pretty small speakers. The presets all work fairly well on my Desktop though.
For the best sound it would be best to place a hardware equaliser in line between your computer and your amplifier. That way you can tune your computer's audio output for your particular hardware.

Thanks! Worked like a
Thanks! Worked like a charm... even better than a charm because for me the Winamp presets are working better in Audacious than they ever did for me in Winamp. No idea if it's my OS or my soundcard (old TB Santa Cruz)
@ simon
What you say is true, but the sound issue I got is definatly not a speaker issue. I tried different solutions for getting thou sound out, and the issue is manifesting always in the same way.... But my english is too poor to explain that...
I started to think it is because of PulseAudio running on my Ubuntu system. Maybe I'll try to kill it...
Works Fine
Thank you very much!, not sound's like a shit, even whith Audacious !
:o)
I owe you a beer, too
I owe you a beer, too. I used "fetch" instead of "wget." but that's because I'm on FreeBSD, and "fetch" is in base, and well, wget is not.
Good information, though. Was glad I could find a location to download the presets... I remember doing this for XMMS years ago.
Thanks
I needed to use a little different procedure under openSuSE 11.1, since the gunzip created an empty file. I used ARK to extract the file, then copied it to the directory, deleted the empty file, and renamed it (winamp_presets to eq.preset).
Thanks again.
