Audacious is an open source and cross-platform project that provides users with a unique audio player application derived from the well known XMMS and Beep Media Player software. It is compatible with the GNU/Linux, BSD, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Features at a glance

Key features include support for a wide range of audio file formats, support for dragging and dropping of individual song files and entire music folders, ability to search for albums or artists in your entire music collection, edit or create playlists, as well as to listen to Audio-CDs or Internet streams.

In addition, it features a graphical equalizer that lets users to tweak the sound, supports LADSPA effects, a complex plugin architecture (a collection of plugins is available for download separately), and support for Winamp Classic skins.

The plugins that are distributed along with the Audacious audio player will extend its default functionality, allowing users to fetch lyrics for songs, set alarms, add support for even more audio file formats, add tray icon support, Last.fm scrobbler, and much more.

Among other useful features, we can mention a queue manager, shuffle mode, repeat mode, "stop after this song" and "no playlist advance" functionality, detailed song information, removal of duplicate files, and renaming of files.

New in Audacious 3.6.2:

• Audacious crashes when you activate Dynamic Range Compresor plugin
• When running Audacious 3.6.1 under Slackware 64bit, audacious plays untagged True Audio (TTA) files perfectly using the ffaudio plugin but audacious fails with tagged TTA files
• As soon as the equalizer is enabled, there is no sound although the file itself is played usually
• When using audtool –playback-seek-relative -x and reaching the start of a song, Audacious used to continue to play the song from the start. Now once it hits the start of a song it will skip to the next song
