Equalizer settings depends on the user and on the sound system you have for your computer. What Mr. XYZ likes for a rap EQ preset, may not be to your tastes. So, try making your own custom rap presets (from the EQ Guide).

The only EQ presets to download that I am aware are mp3d: MP3Dimension. There are no rap presets in that set.

The MP3Dimension EQ presets install will replace the existing EQ presets file (Winamp.q1), so would I suggest backuping the original by renaming it or copying it to another folder. The presets file (Winamp.q1) is located in the Winamp folder/directory. If you can not see the file extensions (.q1)...

[edit > JonnyMac] Update: If you have multi-user setup for Winamp 5.2[i]x[i] or 5.3x the EQ setting file (*.q1 | *.q2) may be located in C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Winamp. The Application Data folder is hidden by default, so you may need to checkmark "show hidden files/folders" in: Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab [/edit]

For users of Winamp 5.5x and higher see this.

[edit2 > JonnyMac] Update 2: The mp3d site referenced above is no longer available. Hopefully there will be an updated site (?) soon. [/edit2]

Overclock.net Forums: Opinion: What are the best Equalizer settings? Pictorial reference of various presets for different genres. Although the post shows iTunes as a reference, Winamp's default equalizer bands are close enough so you can get a good representation. For a closer representation, set the EQ to the ISO standard freq bands.

Some of the EQ preset files may be a Winamp.q1 file and other may be
*.eqf (where * represents a file name) file(s).

Winamp.q1 will replace the preexisting EQ presets (default/user) file, so I would suggest to backup the file (as suggested in the previous post) before installing any Winamp.q1 file

*.eqf are individual preset files and can loaded in Winamp by...
Presets button > Load > From EQF
