About 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 change the dynamic range with audio
effects. Enjoy the modern Qt/GTK themed interface or change things up with
Winamp Classic skins. Use the plugins included with Audacious to fetch
lyrics for your music, display a VU meter, and more.
