I searched for very long time for a media player that answers to my very reasonable exigence: be as simple to use as my beloved foobar2000, which is not supported on linux.

And audacious did very well. It has the features I want to (scrobbler essentially, but the built in equalizer is a big plus too.

I have no problems loading big folders (I often add the folder “/home/*********/Music” which is more than 50 GB huge and despite it takes a little more time than foobar did, it works almost perfectly.

Another drawback would be the lack of podcasting function. But hey, isn’t Rythmbox made for that ?

Is realyy a great player, an the PLAYLIST SCROLL IS AS SLOW AS YOU CONFIGURE IT. Go to preferences, mouse, then in the second parameter adjust the wheel to change as many lines as you wish.

Hope this will help to enjoy more your Audacious.

Audacious, is actually a really good player and the in built equalizer is quite a nifty feature. Speaking of media players, you may enjoy this article. The Best Media Player

The main reason I use audacious is because it has a built-in equalizer. Many of the other alternative media players for Linux don’t seem to have equalizers and also don’t seem to want to support this feature.

The major drawback of audacious is being stuck without a media library. Adding a large folder containing audio files seem to bring audacious to a freeze. Very frustrating — something I’m sure a media library would fix!

i completely agree. i always thought XMMS was the best, but i’ve switched.

the lack of a media library is its only downside, but i’m thinking someone will make a plugin for it soon.

There are so many choices for music player with Linux. I have always felt overwhelmed by the massive features in Amarok and Rhythmbox. This is exactly what I need to listen to my music…thanks for the pointer…
