Audacious - An Advanced Audio Player

14 comments

I used it in the past on Linux and liked it's relatively small memory footprint though I am currently on Strawberry ( a fork of Clementine).
- Has strawberry gotten any easier to theme? I tried a few years back and just couldn't handle the aesthetics, and theming it seemed to only do some parts properly.
- Wasn't Amarok (from which Clementine was forked) recently brought back from the dead?
  
  Yes, Amarok is also active again though it's UI is reasonably different from Clementine now.
Oh! I should get back to it... Togrther with the winamp skins I had downloaded from internet archive.

Plus projectM from Steam, and Spotube... I could stop using the monthly subscription for (*1) an ugly UI that barely handles drag-and-drop and is a mess to make my playlists with.

(*1) tbh, the recommendation engine got me hooked at first, but my interest has been fading away.
- Winamp Skins Collection link
  
  ( * Has some NSFW skins mixed in.)
Is there a really complete Linux audio player? By complete I mean : shuffle, queue management and reorganization, cover support, sort by album, artist, etc... Have good tools, like eq or compressor.

One day I searched and tried many but didn't find a good one
- Audacious. It's in the post you made this comment to
- Strawberry has all those things.
  
  Didn't find a way of having a good album and songs sorting
- Check out Quod Libet, it is my current favorite.
  
  Tried to but didn't work that well, maybe gonna check again
I like deadbeef because it reminds me of the foobar2k days. Very simple interface but behind the context menu is hidden tagging, replaygain editing, a robust plugin system, and all the more advanced features I need to keep my collection well groomed.
