Audacious 4.0 released with latest feature. Here is how to install Audacious through terminal in Ubuntu Linux. Audacious music player for Linux Ubuntu comes with great features.
Audacious
Audacious is an open source audio player. A descendant of XMMS, Audacious plays your music how you want it, without stealing away your computer’s resources from other tasks. Drag and drop folders and individual song files, search for artists and albums in your entire music library, or create and edit your own custom playlists.
Listen to CD’s or stream music from the Internet. Tweak the sound with the graphical equalizer or experiment with LADSPA effects. Enjoy the modern GTK-themed interface or change things up with Winamp Classic skins. Use the plugins included with Audacious to fetch lyrics for your music, to set an alarm in the morning, and more.
Audacious 4.0
Audacious 4.0 release switches to Qt 5 by default. The Qt UI has become quite polished by now. It will be quite familiar to users of the GTK2 UI, but it also brings a few nice-to-have improvements, such as a playlist view that is easier to navigate and sort.
GTK2 remains available and supported as a build option, but new features will only be added to the Qt UI going forward.
Some things that we wanted to get finished didn’t make it into this
release. In particular, the Qt port of the Winamp-like UI is still
missing some key features such the Jump to Song window. Users of the
Winamp-like UI may want to continue using GTK2 for now. The Windows
builds are also still using GTK2, until some Windows-specific font size
issues (on displays greater than 96 DPI) can be worked out in the Qt
version.
