70 2. Installation | |
71 --------------- | |
72 | |
1174 | 73 Audacious requires the following libraries and their development |
0 | 74 packages installed: |
75 | |
4333 | 76 Glib 2.14.0 |
4331 | 77 http://www.gtk.org/download/ |
0 | 78 |
4333 | 79 GTK+ 2.10.0 |

86 http://www.atheme.org/projects/mowgli.shtml | |
0 | 87 |
4331 | 88 If you compile Audacious from a fresh Mercurial checkout, you will also |
89 need the following tools: | |
90 | |
1427 | 91 autoconf >= 2.59 |
0 | 92 |
93 Note that these tools and libraries are bundled with major Linux | |
94 distributions. Use the packages provided with them where possible. If | |
95 those packages are not sufficiently new, you may need to search | |
96 third-party repositories for them. | |

0 | 151 |
1174 | 152 However, you don't need to as Audacious supports archived skins. Audacious |
0 | 153 currently reads the following formats: zip, wsz, tar, tar.gz and |

156 Just copy the archive to one of the skin paths and Audacious will take care |

159 In order to support zipped skins you will need to have unzip. Unzip | |

192 Winamp. |
0 | 193 |
194 - On the top is the window title bar. To the right you will see 3 buttons, | |
1174 | 195 Left button will minimize Audacious. |
196 Middle button will make Audacious only display the title bar. | |
197 Right button will end the Audacious session. | |
0 | 198 |
199 - The area in the upper left part displays the following: | |
200 - Play state: Paused, Stopped, or Playing | |
201 - Time elapsed in the current song or if you click on it, the reversed. | |
202 - Spectrum analyzer of the sound being played. Right mouse click will | |
203 bring up the Visualization menu. Left mouse button will change the | |
204 analyzer to an oscilloscope and/or none. | |
205 | |
206 - To the right of the Spectrum analyzer is the title of the file being played. | |
207 This also contains the length of the song being played, as well as its | |
208 position in the [unsorted] playlist. Right clicking in this window will bring | |
209 up a new menu with some more options that are self explaining. | |
210 | |
211 - In the left part of the Spectrum analyzer you'll have letters (at least if | |
212 you use the default skin) O A I D V. This is known as the | |
213 "clutterbar'. Left-clicking on these will open up menus or perform the | |
214 listed actions. | |
215 O : Options menu | |
216 A : Always on top | |
217 I : File info box | |
218 D : Double size mode | |
219 V : Visualization menu | |
220 | |
221 - Underneath the track title are the following static informational data: | |
222 - bit rate in KBps (usually 128 or 112) | |
223 - Sample Rate in KHz (usually 44) | |
224 - Stereo or Mono channel mixing | |
225 | |
226 - Underneath the informational data are a few controls you can play with: | |
227 - The first slider controls the volume | |
228 - The second slider controls the balance between speakers | |
229 - The button marked "EQ" loads up the graphic equalizer | |
230 - The button marked "PL" loads up the playlist editor | |
231 - The LARGE slide bar moves from left to right as the song plays. You can | |
232 drag this to jump to another location in the current file. | |
233 | |
234 - On the bottom of the console are the standard buttons you would see on a CD | |
235 player: Previous track, Play, Pause, Stop, Next track, eject, shuffle | |
236 and repeat. | |
237 | |
238 - The eject button doesn't REALLY eject, of course. :) It opens up the | |
239 file requester. The File Requester builds a playlist for the current | |
1174 | 240 Audacious session. You can use it to load files, add files to the list, or |
0 | 241 load all mp3s in a directory. |
242 | |
243 - The shuffle button randomizes the sequence of the playlist. | |
244 | |
245 - The repeat button when enabled makes the playlist loop when it reaches the | |
246 end of the playlist. | |

313 To access the Playlist editor, select the button labeled "PL" on the right | |
1174 | 314 side of the Audacious console. |
0 | 315 |
316 This will bring up the actual playlist window, here you'll find 5 buttons. | |
317 All of these buttons can be held down to bring up an extra menu. | |
318 From left to right: | |
319 | |

321 2 extra options | |
322 dir : will let you pick a directory (recursive) | |

344 | |
345 If you want to select/deselect files in the filrequester/playlist editor use | |
346 CTRL for files and SHIFT key for blocks of files. You can also browse the PL | |
347 using the cursor keys and enter to select song. Pressing the delete button will | |
348 remove the song from the playlist. If your mouse is equipped with a mouse | |
349 wheel, you can use this to scroll up and down. | |
350 | |
351 3.3. Equalizer | |
352 -------------- | |
353 | |
354 To access the Equalizer, select the button labeled "EQ" on the right | |
1174 | 355 side of the Audacious console. |
0 | 356 |
357 That will bring up the Equalizer window. It looks like an equalizer on a stereo | |
358 and behaves like one as well. Press the button labeled ON to enable the use of | |
359 the equalizer, once you turned it on you use it as a normal equalizer. | |
360 | |
1174 | 361 EQ presets will be saved in ~/.audacious/config when you close Audacious. You can also |
362 have your own presets for different song using the "Preset" button, Audacious can | |

363 also import/export from Winamp's preset files. |
0 | 364 |
1174 | 365 If 'Auto' is enabled, Audacious will try to load equalizer presets like this: |
0 | 366 |
367 1: Look for a preset file in the directory of the file we are about to play. | |
368 2: Look for a directory preset file in the same directory. | |
369 3: Look for a preset saved with the "auto-load" feature. | |
370 4: Finally, try to load the "default" preset. | |
371 | |
372 The 'preset' button will open up a menu with the following options: | |
373 | |
374 Load | |
375 Preset : Will open a window with all available presets. | |
376 Auto-load preset : Will open a window with all available auto-load | |
377 presets. | |

480 3.6 Plugins | |
481 ----------- | |
482 | |
2306 | 483 Plugins are what makes Audacious work, by moving most of the code out of |
484 Audacious and into a plugin architecture it's possible to change almost | |
485 everything in Audacious. There are today 8 different types of plugins. | |
0 | 486 |
2306 | 487 However to promote maximum flexibility of the platform itself, we no longer |
488 include any plugins with the Audacious core. | |
0 | 489 |
2306 | 490 You will need to download and install our plugin pack for Audacious if you |
491 expect it to do anything useful (or install someone else's plugin pack if one | |
492 should exist). | |
0 | 493 |
2306 | 494 Additionally, you can find a list of plugins at: |
495 http://audacious-media-player.org/Plugins | |
0 | 496 |
2306 | 497 You should note that third-party plugins are not supported by the Audacious |
498 development team, and that you should report any issues with them on our forums, | |
499 but NEVER on our bugtracker. | |

2306 | 501 3.7 Playlist Manager |
502 -------------------- | |
0 | 503 |
2306 | 504 Audacious supports multiple playlists (think foobar2000). For the manipulation of |
505 playlists, we have included a playlist manager tool. | |
0 | 506 |
2306 | 507 It is accessible from the Playlist menu. |
0 | 508 |
509 | |
510 4. Command Line Options | |
511 ----------------------- | |
512 | |
2306 | 513 audacious --help will produce: |
0 | 514 |
2306 | 515 Usage: audacious [options] [files] ... |
0 | 516 |
517 Options: | |
518 -------- | |

0 | 533 |
534 You can specify files on the command line, e.g: | |
535 | |
2306 | 536 audacious file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3 |
537 audacious *.mp3 | |
538 audacious playlist.m3u playlist.pls playlist.xspf | |
0 | 539 |
2306 | 540 If you do this while Audacious is running, the current playlist |
0 | 541 will be cleared and the files/playlist specified on the command |
542 line will be used instead. | |
543 | |
2306 | 544 To keep the current playlist intact use the -E option, which will |
545 create a new temporary playlist with the requested media, or the | |
546 -e option, which will append to your currently selected playlist. | |

1174 | 587 The Subversion snapshots listed are not regularly updated. We |

612 If you have a windows partition with Winamp installed, a good idea would be to |
0 | 613 set the SKINSDIR variable to that dir. |
614 | |
1174 | 615 Audacious features some command line options like next/previous songs, those |
0 | 616 things can be binded to a key. I use AfterStep and the useless window keys |
617 for this. Here is an example from my .steprc: | |
618 | |
1174 | 619 Key Meta_R A N Exec "Audacious" audacious -r |
620 Key Menu A N Exec "Audacious" audacious -f | |
0 | 621 |
622 If you want all your mp3's in one playlist an easy way is: | |
623 locate .mp3 > /path/to/playlistname | |
624 | |
625 (considering you have a fairly recent updatedb, don't blame us if locate don't | |
626 find the file you downloaded 3 minutes ago) | |
627 | |
628 | |
629 8. Bugs | |
630 ------- | |
631 | |
1174 | 632 Audacious is under heavy development and as such, has quite a number of |
0 | 633 bugs. Our bug tracker page is maintained at: |
634 | |
2306 | 635 http://bugs-meta.atheme.org/ |
0 | 636 |
637 It will continue to have bugs as we fix and introduce new ones through | |
638 rewriting and enhancement. Help us along by reporting new bugs, and | |
639 verifying existing ones. | |
