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

Works Great. Thanks a lot.
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 ?? 😉
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.
Thanks dude ..Its just increased the usability
Works great – thanks for making this usable.
Hi, Thanks for the great tip!
Alternative is to use:
wget -O- http://www.mikesplanet.net/files/equalizers.xml.gz | zcat > ~/.config/banshee-1/equalizers.xml
note: it’s – ‘letter o’ -, not zero.
but great tutorial for providing a link to default presets as otherwise it sounds crap.
hey..this just wrks fine..thnks
does not work for 1.51
Great stuff! I use Hungarian ubuntu so i had to change all the periods to commas, otherwise it didnt work.
gunzip -c equalizers.xml.gz | sed ‘s/\./,/g’ > ~/.config/banshee-1/equalizers.xml
Swwwweeeet!
Worked Great!
Thanks man!
Great and fast to use instructions that work! Thanks
Don’t forget to ensure Banshee is closed completely (no notification icon even) before you extract the new equalisers file, else it will be overwritten with the existing list when Banshee is closed.
I use Banshee 1.80 and this dont work, i need the presets.
