Audacious is a [[BSD-2]] licensed music player written in [[C++]]. - Website - Source - Documentation - AlternativeTo > Audacious is an open source audio player. # Notability It is a music player. It can also, optionally, use Winamp skins. # Philosophy ## Origin Started as a fork of [[XMMS]]. - https://audacious-media-player.org/history ## Combative Contributor One of the main contributors is rude and dismissive of others contributions. He wonders why he is the only contributor, yet he runs other people away. Ironic. `jlindgren90`'s comments can be found [here](https://github.com/audacious-media-player/audacious-plugins/pull/160#issuecomment-2183793989). Given this, I don't think contributing to Audacious is worth anyone's time. Better to fork or find an alternative. # Platform Support # Features Has a basic music library system. ## Bugs Scrobbling with [[Last.fm]] was broken some time around 2023. May be fixed with more recent versions but I have not been able to test it. # Tips ## Building ### Required Packages Also required by plugins. If you already ran `autogen.sh`, you must re-run it again after they are installed. ``` libgtk-3-devel gettext-devel ``` ### Procedure ```sh ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix="/opt/local" make make install ``` ## Building Plugins Must have the current version of Audacious built already! >[!DANGER] > `./configure` will not find Audacious if it is installed in `/opt/local`. I am sure there is a workaround for this, but I do not know what it is. # References
