Saving a playlist's EQ settings?

SKYY · 24th November 2001, 16:18

I've got a bunch of auto-load presets for my playlist, and when I try to "save to EQF" it generates a 1K file, saving just the current EQ settings. How do you save ALL of a playlist's EQ settings?

Try: "presets -> save -> auto load preset" instead of EQF
This loads the saved preset each time the individual file plays.
I don't think you can save a preset for a playlist file (pls/m3u),
only individual trax.

Or: "save -> default" will save the universal setting.

To restore a universal setting at a later date, goto:
presets -> load . . .

Ah-hah! I found what I was looking for!!

Winamp saves your "auto-load" EQ settings automatically in a file in the /winamp root called "winamp.q2". There is another file called "winamp.q1" which is the out-of-the-box EQ settings (ie. rock, high treble, etc...). So, if you're like me and you like to format your computer frequently to install new OS's and stuff, you can backup that winamp.q2 file so that you don't lose your auto-load settings! Great!

Yes, absolutely

We could've told you that as well if you'd asked

Maybe I totally misinterpreted your question?

Doh!
