The Winamp equalizers presets are the best equalizer settings I have found. The following guide will get the default WinAmp presets working under Banshee 1.2.

1. Download the equalizer presets using the following command

wget http://www.mikesplanet.net/files/equalizers.xml.gz

2. Install equalizer presets in Banshee 1.2 (Please note, this will write over existing presets)

gunzip -c equalizers.xml.gz > ~/.config/banshee-1/equalizers.xml

3. Start Banshee, Goto View -> Equalizer and choose what preset you want to use.

or use the following single command

Or this one-liner:

wget -O – http://www.mikesplanet.net/files/equalizers.xml.gz | gunzip -c – > ~/.config/banshee-1/equalizers.xml

    Thanks!

    Great Tip Dude. I find the equalizers “THE” most compelling reason to move to Banshee. Why cant they have equalizer defaults shipped from the factory ?? ;)

  4. Mike says:

    I just discovered Banshee and am running it in Ubuntu. Wow! The only thing missing, as Beyboo observed above, was a lack of EQ presets bundled with the app. I hope the Banshee project maintainers resolve this somehow. However, I can confirm that these instructions work perfectly in Ubuntu 8.10 (the beta of which I am currently running).

    Thanks a lot!

    Yes, this is very nice. There are still a few things missing from banshee however, such as gapless playback. It is not as refined yet as Amarok, but I have finally been compelled to switch over.
