To get the ‘Default Winamp Presets' for your XMMS wget the following file
wget http://www.xmms.org/misc/winamp_presets.gz
Then issue the following command:
gunzip -c winamp_presets.gz > ~/.xmms/eq.preset
This will overwrite any existing presets you have.
The next time you run XMMS the presets will be available

Hey Mato..in Linux you can make your own player with mplayer, check it out:
#!/bin/bash

Wow that output didn’t look very good at all lol.
Email me at: hollaway@gmail.com
and I can send you the source code of my one-of-a-kind music player that I use on xterm that’s in the BASH language.

I get the following error:
/.xmms/eq.preset: No such file or directory
And when I locate .xmms I see nothing like this??
Ideas?
[Reply]
You must run command as super user, i guess. Worked for me
(for this just place sudo before the commands)
[Reply]
thanks……..working very good
[Reply]
Wow, i looked for these presets for a long time. Thank you very much!

Confirmed working Ubuntu 7.10 xmms. Thankyou very much!

Excellent, works great on Ubuntu with XMMS.
[Reply]
I’m not finding any joy!
“gzip: winamp_presets.gz: not in gzip format”,
yep ~ I followed every step, and even extracted it
and placed it in /.xmms myself…but it no see it.
Oh well…I’ll keep on trying ~
[Reply]
Thanks alot guys.. Its working fine for me.
[Reply]
worked like a charm, thanks.

Refurbished an old HP machine for a kid at church and the pre-sets worked great on xmms running under PCLOS-Gnome-2008-2. To bad the side attachedspeakers are junk.
Thanks again.
Best regards,
