Question about EQ on iPod Classic 5.5 Video - Dev build.

[brushwolf]

Hello, all. I wanted to ask if there is a streamlined way to transfer our EQ .txt files to the iPod, or if we can dial in exact numbers with point decimals in between 0 and 5 values on the parametric EQ. From what I gather, we can't dial in the exact numbers or use our own presets.

Appreciate all the help, thank you.

You can create or modify the equalizer presets in the .rockbox/eqs folder with the text editor of your choice.

I did this recently to port an EQ I was testing to rockbox:

Rockbox:

Code: [Select]

eq enabled: on
eq precut: 66
eq low shelf filter: 105, 7, 90
eq peak filter 1: 8983, 26, 44
eq peak filter 2: 54, 4, -54
eq peak filter 3: 1148, 23, -15
eq peak filter 4: 491, 12, 6
eq peak filter 6: 7451, 39, 20
eq peak filter 7: 4502, 60, -17
eq peak filter 8: 1937, 39, 9
eq high shelf filter: 10000, 7, -39

Oh thank you, that's what I need. But I can't find that folder, where do we put the EQ files and in which format?

Create the folder if it doesn't exist. Save the files with the .cfg extension. I gave an example of the format above.

Thank you so much for your help, I managed to do it. Another question, I have songs in 16/44 ALAC, with EQ my 5.5 iPos Video is still a little slow to navigate while a song is playing. Is this normal? The songs are about 890-1000kbps. Should I swtich to AIFF for easier playback or are there any options I can tweak?

In my experience using EQ incurs a performance penalty. This is likely due to the CPU in the 5.5 being less powerful than the 6th gen. Although, I have not yet tested EQ with my 6th gen to compare performance.

Your CPU is only fast enough for 4-5 EQ bands, so limit yourself to as few as you need.
