After installing Audacious (sudo apt-get install audacious) and enabling the EQ I remembered that you could import the old trusty Winamp presets into Audacious. That is great, I was and remain a fan of the full bass & treble preset. Tweak the sound with the graphical equalizer or experiment with LADSPA effects. Enjoy the modern GTK-themed interface or change things up with Winamp Classic skins. Use the plugins included with Audacious to fetch lyrics for your music, to set an alarm in the morning, and more. Audacious runs on Linux, on BSD derivatives, and on Microsoft Windows.
I have this file:In where do i have to copy this file in order to have Winamp equalizer presets?

I have been playing around and trying different meda players in Linux. It had been quite some time since I had used Audacious and I was quickly growing tired of Amarok2’s missing features. One of the most obvious features that is missing is the equalizer, really?
After installing Audacious (
sudo apt-get install audacious
) and enabling the EQ I remembered that you could import the old trusty Winamp presets into Audacious. That is great, I was and remain a fan of the full bass & treble preset. After a mere 30 seconds of searching for the Winamp EQ file to import, I stumbled upon a very simple two step process for downloading and “installing” them.wget http://www.xmms.org/misc/winamp_presets.gz
and
gunzip -c winamp_presets.gz > ~/.config/audacious/eq.preset
Restart / Audacious and you are all good to go.
