I certainly agree. Every music player device or software _should_ have
an equalizer. Perhaps the right way, in this case, would be as a
plugin.

By the way, a nice feature could be the possibility of assigning a
specific equalizer mode to certain music genres, taken from the ID3
tags (i.e. use the "rock" equalizer if i'm listening to rock, or use
the "ambient" equalizer if that's what the tune is, etc). I know most
of the songs don't have that much information, but in that case, those
songs would use the default equalizer. What do you think?

Anyway, I'm not requesting this as a feature... just giving an idea. :)
