Windows?

Install https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo then restart PC

Then install this https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/

Then you can import them as .txt files using the "import" button on the interface and tweak easily/swap between profiles

Yeah, Windows. Thank you so much.
