There is no lack of music player software on Linux, but the definition of this type of software has become increasingly blurred every year. Developers are experimenting with new things and trying to imitate software on other platforms and replicate distinctive features from other platforms.

Most of the players used today, at least some major release versions, have tried to add some features, not just a simple media player. The developer has implemented the online radio, broadcast, and even the function of directly purchasing music on the interface.

Although such innovation is worth advocating, it is too much effort on audio players. The developer has forgotten the main role of the software. Although it is good to purchase music without opening a Web browser, an audio playback software should not regard this function as the core.

Now let's take a look at Audacious, an old alumnus audio playing software on the Linux platform, which is still updating and adding new blood, it does not change core functions to get all third-party services.

Install

There are two complicated and simple ways to install Audacious. The complex method is to compile and install the source code. In fact, this is not necessary. If you choose to start from source code compilation, it will be very cumbersome to use the same method for future updates.

We have installed Audacious 13.10 On the Ubuntu 3.4 (Saucy Salamander) system. Although the Ubuntu 13.10 system is still in the testing stage, it has been confirmed to be a stable operating system except for an exception.

The latest version of this software is available in official sources. you can install it through the Ubuntu software center or by using a terminal. Generally, we recommend the next method, because the Ubuntu Software Center requires some dependent software to log on, even if they are free, and it is best to see what happened during the installation process.

Open the terminal and enter the following command:

Sudo apt-get install audacious

When all the packages have been installed, open Unity Dash as usual and enter the name of the application, you can find the shortcut icon of the player.

Summary

If you are looking for a traditional audio player that also contains some new features, you should try Audacious.

The software has a simple interface, which hardly occupies any system resources and does not have any fancy functions. This is exactly the style of the software. Audacious plays music. In this way, it is not abrupt at all.
