The Graphic Equalizer
Sometimes an MP3 file, just like any audio recording might sound better if various parts of the sound spectrum in the file were amplified more. This can help a file add more bass, or treble depending on the frequency range you punch up. Just as on other audio equipment, Winamp provides a graphic equalizer to help you tweak the playback to just what you want.

Access the graphic equalizer by clicking the EQ button on the faceplate; you can also do so by right-clicking on the faceplate to pull up the main menu. The equalizer a 10-band graphic equalizer with frequency controls ranging from 60Hz to 16KHz.
