Rhythmbox Extras

Now that Rhythmbox is the default music player in Ubuntu 12.04, it's probably worth getting the best out of it. One notable absentee from the shipped application is an equalizer. You can install this plugin individually or you can install a range of working plugins from a ppa mainatined by fossfreedom.

To install the complete collection of plugins, add fossfreedom's ppa. Open a terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/rhythmbox-plugins

Then update:

sudo apt-get update

Then install the plugins with:

sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-plugin-complete

Once installed, open Rhythmbox and click Edit and then Plugins: check the Equalizer checkbox and you're done.

Activate the Equalizer Plugin
