# Using VLC via its ncurses frontend with equalizers
1. Install VLC.
2. Open VLC and drag some music in.
3. While playing some music, open the Tools > Effects and Filters menu. Play around with the presets until you find one that sounds good.
4. Write down the name of the preset you used and then close VLC.
5. In a terminal, "cd" to where the music you want to play is.
6. In that terminal, execute this command:
```
cvlc --equalizer-preset=INSERT_PRESET_NAME_HERE -I ncurses *.ext
```
".ext" is the file extension of your music files, like ".mp3" or ".flac".
Here is a list of possible presets as of 2020:
* flat
* classical
* club
* dance
* fullbass
* fulltreble
* fullbasstreble
* headphones
* largehall
* live
* party
* pop
* reggae
* rock
* ska
* soft
* softrock
* techno
Pressing the "h" key will open the help menu, which will show you the plyer controls.
