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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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 ??
