I have a project I'm working on, and I'd like to know if anyone knows the frequency ranges that the 19 bars represent in the standard Winamp player.

Anyone know where I could find this information?

Maybe you could make a file with a generated sweep tone that slowly increases, and then just play it back and watch which bands react?

Here's a very simple tone generator plugin that was included with the Winamp 2.00 release, unzip it and drop it into Winamp's Plugin folder and restart Winamp.

to use it, ctrl+click the open file button and enter in tone://xxxx where xxxx is the frequency you want to hear eg. tone://2600

another alternative would be to use an external tone generator application(or hardware even), set the recording mixer to monitor the wave or main mix, then open the linein:// URL instead.

Yeah, I was going to try like a gradated sawtooth or something, but it would get tedious. If someone at Winamp could let me know, that would be best for what I'm trying to do (don't want to spoil it :) ), but I doubt the tech's read these forums. :(

using in_tone, and 250 increments, Here's what I found:

There isn't any crossover, but these may not represent the exact middlepoint as evidenced by 4, 8, 12, and 16

1 250
2 1000
3 1750
4 2250 2500
5 3000
6 3750
7 4500
8 5000 5250
9 5750
10 6500
11 7250
12 7750 8000
13 8500
14 9250
15 10000
16 10500 10750
17 11250
18 12000
BTW, this was using the modern skin

[edit]here's the classic skin, not much different, exept the last 21 250
2 1000
3 1750
4 2250 2500
5 3000
6 3750
7 4500
8 5000 5250
9 5750
10 6500
11 7250
12 7750 8000
13 8500
14 9250
15 10000
