Add Equalizer in Spotify

[spotifyfan]

For ipod touch there is a huge need for eq because Spotify bypasses the regular Apple Sound Settings.

I use high end headphones but need to be able to fintune the settings so I can enjoy my music and tech equally.

So please, please make an EQ for the spotify app

Maybe you guys already are working on it. But we need an equalizer on the windows desktop app. It's amazing how it changes things when you hear your music on high quality with good headphones.

Maybe you can have it on the next update!

Also please try to stabilize the EQ on Android. I'm wearing my Beats with my Galaxy and it sounds amazing, but the change on the volume really bothers me when changing tracks.

Thank you.

EQ for mac OSX pleeeeeese!

We are beeing forced to use complicated, memory comsuming and/or expensive solutions in order to have our music equilized under OSX. This is a so basic function I can not believe its not implemented yet!

Please simplify our lifes, implement EQ ASAP!

what about Windows Phone and Windows tablet apps?

If you're a Mac user and you want a great equalizer for Spotify (or even cross-application equalizer) you should check out Boom (and Boom 2 for OS X Yosemite.) It's a free trial to start with, but if you end up buying it, the equalizer works so well with Spotify.

If you end up getting Boom/Boom 2, I suggest listening to some pop music to break it in! You can adjust the EQ settings of Boom/Boom 2 right from the status bar of your Mac whenever and have presets. Hope this helped!

Boom doesn't work with Airplay Speakers, as you have to choose either Boom or Airplay as your output

Yes, you are right. Boom is a good solution, it add a good equalizer for every sound going out of the computer.

I used boom 2 during the testing week. I experienced four or five crashes. Nothing really problematic but I had to reopen the program and define the equalization again.

Besides that boom add a small delay in the audio, what is not problematic at all for music, but it is for videos and movies since you loose the sync between audio and image. Therefore we have turn boom on and off many times.
Maybe it is different with other computers, I am using a Macbook Pro retina.

But again, an equalizer is a so basic future I can not believe Spotify don't have it. This would be a simpliest solution for all the problems listed by me and others here.

Disclaimer: I have not read all 47 pages of this thread and I will not.

What is the hold up on adding an EQ?  Is there some sort of deal you have to work out with artists or publishers?  Or is it some sort of purist thing?

Honestly, for a pure music app, I would think there would be an EQ.  You don't need to use it to listen, but for those who want to get the most out of their speakers/headphones it's a completely viable and frankly standard peice of functionality.

What's the deal?

Also- to those who say "buy better headphones" and "listen to the music as it was intended" (ahem, timiambeing)

Most people don't have a couple grand to drop on hi-fi studio monitors that mix artists use in the studio to create the "intended" sound. You would have to buy the exact same make/model of monitors they used to mix to hear "how it was intended".  In fact, you would have to buy the mixing board, preamp and power amp, and any other hardware they used to mix it.  So really, there is no viable way to actually hear "how it was intended."

The EQ is meant to correct for any other monitor's differences from that original mix monitor.  OR pump the bass if you like it that way.  Or diminish the bass because it is too much for your tiny speakers.  Ot create whatever mix you like the best.

Oh, and by the way, don't tell people how they should listen to music.

Please have an integrated equalizer in the Spotify desktop app. Otherwise it is extreamly annoying with the low frequency reverberation because of my 5mx5m square room !!! You guys should take this seriously.
