Thanks for the explanation. It's a pity that Android made that change. It sounds difficult and probably not worthwhile. I'll get used to the lack of EQ. It was nice because I used one that let me make home screen widgets for different EQ profiles, so I could easily choose one for this car, that car, bluetooth earbuds, the bluetooth speaker, etc. It was a good run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
