Is there a way to get an EQ in RhythmBox

I might be able to help. Download link http://cs.helsinki.fi/u/ttokalli/rb-plugins/equalizer.tar.gz then unpack to /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins start rhythmbox goe to edi > plugins > in popup check Equalizer. It is a 10 band Equalizer plugin hope it is ok.

here's a rhythmbox equilizer:

http://www.deviantdark.altervista.org/?p=438

start rhythmbox goto edit > plugins > in popup check Equalizer

in download area tar xzf equalizer.tar.gz
cp -R equalizer /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins
recursive copy directory.

Is your question answered if it is can you please change to solved?

I downloaded the file from deviantdark.altavista.org/?p=438, but I couldn't figure out how to unpack it to /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins. Forgive me, I have been using ubuntu for about one week. I'm still a newbie.

tar -xzvf rhythmbox-equalizer.tar.gz

check to see if that directory lives..
ls /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins
it will list the directory contents..

if cd to the desktop "default download area"
when you "tar -xzvf rhythmbox-equalizer.tar.gz" it has a directory "equalizer/"
you must copy whole "equalizer/" directory.
to the plugins folder.

to do so "cp -R equalize/ /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins"

all "" in quotes please type what it is in quotes.

Sorry to keep bothering you, but I'm stumped. I did this in terminal, and it listed the files.

cp -R equalize/  /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins

However, when I did this...

cp -R equalize/  /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins

I get an error that says...

cp: cannot stat `equalize/': No such file or directory
