Audacious is a light weight mp3 player which uses less resources and gives high quality audio . It comes with two interfaces ( GTK interface and Winamp interface ) . Winamp interface looks like old winamp 2.x version has a same functionality like playlist,presets etc..
In this article we will see about Audacious installation in ubuntu 12.04 and importing presets.
Installing audacious in ubuntu 12.04 :
Audacious installation in ubuntu 12.04 is pretty easy , just issue the below three commands one by one.
» Add the repository using below command .
krizna@leela:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
» Update the repository
krizna@leela:~$ sudo apt-get update
» Issue the below command to install audacious.
krizna@leela:~$ sudo apt-get install audacious
That’s it ..By default it has GTK interface .
Winamp interface
If you want winamp interface . just Goto View -> Interface and choose winamp classic interface
Import presets
Presets are not available by default, you will have to add yourself . follow the steps to add presets.
» Click here to download preset zip file.
» Unzip and copy eq.preset file to /home/username/.config/audacious/ ( if already there , just replace it )
krizna@leela:~$ cp eq.preset .config/audacious/
» Restart audacious and click preset , now you can choose your favourite preset.
Enjoy 🙂
After 2 days of trying and frustration I finally got it to work without downloading anything. I upgraded my Audacious with the nilarimogard/webupd8 repository to version 3.4 and then pasting the following into a terminal:
rm $HOME/.config/audacious/eq.preset
cat > $HOME/.config/audacious/eq.preset << EOF
