Hi,

I amwondering how can I get the preset file (if there is any such thing ) for XMMS. Currently the Load Preset Dialog box shows up empty.

Thankx in advance...

i think fsck wont work for swap block because it looks for the file system ext2,ext3 while swap itself has its file system type of swap

Well,
I think that due to your addiction you have posted to the wrong thread..

never mind

Anyways,
I found the file from XMMS Site

Thankx anyways...

well sorry for that
it happ. 'cause i was replying to more that 1 threads at a time

Well, I found the same file, placed it in the right directory and pointed XMMS to it and still nothing.

Did you fix it? I have the same problem. loaded and pointed, but no presets on the menu.

Download the Xmms presets :
wget http://www.xmms.org/misc/winamp_presets.gz

untar/extract the file the open XMMS and import the presets

Hey craig,

thanks, bro. But if you actually read the thread you'll see that flapjackboy and I have already dl'ed and untarred the file to the correct directory. At least, I have. I have also pointed the preset loader at the file in question. Now, what I don't get, in "Configure Equalizer" for Directory preset file (dir_default.preset) and "File preset extention" (preset), well, what is this dir_default.preset thing? We extract the file to the home directory, to .xmms - a hidden file that the loader in xmms doesn't see. Huh??

And another thing, it's supposed to be renamed when it's extracted to 'eq.preset', right? Then what's with dir_default.preset? I get that 'dir_default' might mean directory file '.xmms' to the program, but if the file is in the '.xmms ' directory then it should be loaded, right?

I feel like I'm chasing my tail here.

The file in my xmms home folder is named eq,preset. All I did was untar/extract it open xmms click Graphic equalizer>Import>WinAmp Preset and imported the file.

So I'm not sure what problems your having sorry.

Try following the steps here: http://www.linuxloader.com/modules.p...pid=28&page=21

Yeah that's crazy. I found this:

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=500267

and it has you load the file to /usr/lib/xmms also. Still don't work for me. I'll get it in there--somehow. I'm thinking about using wine to setup winamp, then importing the presets that way. I can't find a EQ Preset file in a winamp .eqf anywhere, so far. I suppose they'd be there. Any body got a clicky link or a way to send 'em to a fella?

craig, you actually supplied the solution without knowing the answer. After all that, I dl'ed the file from your link (LinuxLoader) and started XMMS to find presets!!

Of course I had to know why... Open 'em up and compare. Seems MY particular XMMS prefers commas to periods as delimiters for the Preamp and Band0-9.

So, if your XMMS won't load presets and you have tried the eq.preset file FROM the XMMS site:

http://www.xmms.org/misc/winamp_presets.gz

with this header:

;
; WinAmp EQ presets for XMMS. converted by Urpo Lankinen <wwwwolf@iki.fi>
; Do whatever you want with these. I don't care. No warranty
; expressed or implied. (And if you blast your speakers with these.
; It's Nullsoft's fault anyway =)
;

then go to the site:

http://www.linuxloader.com/modules.p...pid=28&page=21

linked above in craig's post and save the file linked there RIGHT TO the .xmms directory, open it with your favorite text editor and look for this header:

; This file must have no extention rename it to eq.preset

; WinAmp EQ presets for XMMS,

; Place this in the hidden xmms directory in your user directory like,

; /home/phil/.xmms

; open xmms and the equalizer presets should be there

;

and you should be GOLD.
