Hi,
I was playing around with some of the WinAmp DSP Plugins and found that quite a number work with MC.
Some require install into the 'C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugin' folder while others can be diverted directly into MC's Plugin folder.
((Others may work but would not install unless they actually detected WinAmp on your system (and it is not on mine so I gave up at that point). Some of these others MAY work with MC once installed into WinAmp and then possible copied into MC's Plugin folder or loaded into MC's Plugin Manager from their WinAmp folder??.))
Once installed in the plugin folder, simply open MC's Plugin Manager and click 'Add Plugin', pointing MC to the plugin's DLL file.
Anyway,
I thought I'd list the DSP plugins from Winamp which I have found appear to work in MC. I have installed them, been able to access and use them, but did not take alot of time to test their quality or effectiveness.
You may prefer one or another (or none), but it is nice to know that some do work as intended when used with MC.
I have included a description from the download site, and tried to note whether they were freeware, trials, demo, etc.
These are standard DSP Plugins, not DirectX plugins.
They can be found here -->>

Wide & Dynamix - Stereo Enhancement: to improve the stereo image by pushing the apparent sound source beyond the speakers. -- Life: to recreate the actual sound propagation in a room for a more natural music. -- Dynamic Controller: to keep an almost constant volume; it's a very convenient feature when your play list contains very different kinds of music styles with different audio volume (it works fine with live events and classical music)
WOW Thing - FREE TRIAL - The WOW Thing is an audio enhancement processor based on patented technology. WOW from SRS Labs is the next generation of 3D audio technology. WOW provides the ultimate listening experience from any two speakers regardless of their size, by creating an image that extends above and beyond the speakers themselves. Turn on WOW and your speakers instantly become dramatically taller and wider. The WOW Thing also includes TruBass, another technology from SRS Labs, Inc. Based on psychoaccoustics, TruBass was designed to accurately reproduce the bass tones from a stereo recording and create the perception of deep and rich bass tones even if the speakers themselves can not physically reproduce them.
WaveSurround V3 - DEMO - WaveSurround gives you an exciting new way to listen to stereo recordings. Standard stereo makes the sound come from between the two speakers in front of you. Listening to music through WaveSurround makes the music surround you WaveSurround V3 has several new features including a studio quality reverb with five preset room models that emulate a chamber, room, club, hall, and stadium.
Speakers Simulator - Makes headphone sound more comfortable, eliminates headache due to natural soundfield simulation. Requires big processor power. About 10% from Celeron 500. MMX highly recommended.
Spatializer StreamFX 2 for Winamp - 30-DAY FREE TRIAL - Spatializer 3D-Stereo creates an astonishing and enveloping sound field from any pair of loudspeakers.

Spatializer Vi.B.E. dramatically improves the perceived bass performance from inexpensive speakers and headphones. Spatializer PCE (Phase Corrected Equalization): high frequencies are clearer, crisp and more brilliant while low frequencies are more dramatic, tighter and have more impact.
**A 'stand-alone' (player independent' version of the Spatializer is available from
