67 | |
68 2. Installation | |
69 --------------- | |
70 | |
1174 | 71 Audacious requires the following libraries and their development |
0 | 72 packages installed: |
73 | |
74 Glib 2.4 | |
75 (http://www.gtk.org/download/) | |
76 | |
77 GTK+ 2.4 | |
78 (http://www.gtk.org/download/) | |
79 | |
80 libglade >= 2.3.1 | |
81 (http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libglade/2.3/) | |
82 | |
1174 | 83 If you compile Audacious from a fresh CVS checkout, you will also need |
0 | 84 the following tools: |
85 | |
1427 | 86 automake >= 1.9 |
87 autoconf >= 2.59 | |
0 | 88 |
89 Note that these tools and libraries are bundled with major Linux | |
90 distributions. Use the packages provided with them where possible. If | |
91 those packages are not sufficiently new, you may need to search | |
92 third-party repositories for them. | |

110 2.2 Borderless Installation | |
111 --------------------------- | |
112 | |
113 As far as I know most WM's accepts GTK decoration hints so it will | |
114 not have borders. But some WM's can't handle this so you have to | |
115 set in manually. | |

0 | 147 |
1174 | 148 However, you don't need to as Audacious supports archived skins. Audacious |
0 | 149 currently reads the following formats: zip, wsz, tar, tar.gz and |
150 tar.bz2 | |

152 Just copy the archive to one of the skin paths and Audacious will take care |
0 | 153 of the rest. |
154 | |
155 In order to support zipped skins you will need to have unzip. Unzip | |
156 is bundled with most Linux distributions. | |
157 | |
1174 | 158 Audacious looks for skins in these directories (in listing order): |

188 Winamp. |
0 | 189 |
190 - On the top is the window title bar. To the right you will see 3 buttons, | |
1174 | 191 Left button will minimize Audacious. |
192 Middle button will make Audacious only display the title bar. | |
193 Right button will end the Audacious session. | |
0 | 194 |
195 - The area in the upper left part displays the following: | |
196 - Play state: Paused, Stopped, or Playing | |
197 - Time elapsed in the current song or if you click on it, the reversed. | |
198 - Spectrum analyzer of the sound being played. Right mouse click will | |
199 bring up the Visualization menu. Left mouse button will change the | |
200 analyzer to an oscilloscope and/or none. | |
201 | |
202 - To the right of the Spectrum analyzer is the title of the file being played. | |
203 This also contains the length of the song being played, as well as its | |
204 position in the [unsorted] playlist. Right clicking in this window will bring | |
205 up a new menu with some more options that are self explaining. | |
206 | |
207 - In the left part of the Spectrum analyzer you'll have letters (at least if | |
208 you use the default skin) O A I D V. This is known as the | |
209 "clutterbar'. Left-clicking on these will open up menus or perform the | |
210 listed actions. | |
211 O : Options menu | |
212 A : Always on top | |
213 I : File info box | |
214 D : Double size mode | |
215 V : Visualization menu | |
216 | |
217 - Underneath the track title are the following static informational data: | |
218 - bit rate in KBps (usually 128 or 112) | |
219 - Sample Rate in KHz (usually 44) | |
220 - Stereo or Mono channel mixing | |
221 | |
222 - Underneath the informational data are a few controls you can play with: | |
223 - The first slider controls the volume | |
224 - The second slider controls the balance between speakers | |
225 - The button marked "EQ" loads up the graphic equalizer | |
226 - The button marked "PL" loads up the playlist editor | |
227 - The LARGE slide bar moves from left to right as the song plays. You can | |
228 drag this to jump to another location in the current file. | |
229 | |
230 - On the bottom of the console are the standard buttons you would see on a CD | |
231 player: Previous track, Play, Pause, Stop, Next track, eject, shuffle | |
232 and repeat. | |
233 | |
234 - The eject button doesn't REALLY eject, of course. :) It opens up the | |
235 file requester. The File Requester builds a playlist for the current | |
1174 | 236 Audacious session. You can use it to load files, add files to the list, or |
0 | 237 load all mp3s in a directory. |
238 | |
239 - The shuffle button randomizes the sequence of the playlist. | |
240 | |
241 - The repeat button when enabled makes the playlist loop when it reaches the | |
242 end of the playlist. | |

341 If you want to select/deselect files in the filrequester/playlist editor use | |
342 CTRL for files and SHIFT key for blocks of files. You can also browse the PL | |
343 using the cursor keys and enter to select song. Pressing the delete button will | |
344 remove the song from the playlist. If your mouse is equipped with a mouse | |
345 wheel, you can use this to scroll up and down. | |
346 | |
347 3.3. Equalizer | |
348 -------------- | |
349 | |
350 To access the Equalizer, select the button labeled "EQ" on the right | |
1174 | 351 side of the Audacious console. |
0 | 352 |

354 and behaves like one as well. Press the button labeled ON to enable the use of | |
355 the equalizer, once you turned it on you use it as a normal equalizer. | |
356 | |
1174 | 357 EQ presets will be saved in ~/.audacious/config when you close Audacious. You can also |
358 have your own presets for different song using the "Preset" button, Audacious can | |

359 also import/export from Winamp's preset files. |
0 | 360 |
1174 | 361 If 'Auto' is enabled, Audacious will try to load equalizer presets like this: |
0 | 362 |
363 1: Look for a preset file in the directory of the file we are about to play. | |
364 2: Look for a directory preset file in the same directory. | |
365 3: Look for a preset saved with the "auto-load" feature. | |
366 4: Finally, try to load the "default" preset. | |
367 | |

476 3.6 Plugins | |
477 ----------- | |
478 | |
2306 | 479 Plugins are what makes Audacious work, by moving most of the code out of |
480 Audacious and into a plugin architecture it's possible to change almost | |
481 everything in Audacious. There are today 8 different types of plugins. | |
0 | 482 |
2306 | 483 However to promote maximum flexibility of the platform itself, we no longer |
484 include any plugins with the Audacious core. | |
0 | 485 |
2306 | 486 You will need to download and install our plugin pack for Audacious if you |
487 expect it to do anything useful (or install someone else's plugin pack if one | |
488 should exist). | |
0 | 489 |
2306 | 490 Additionally, you can find a list of plugins at: |
491 http://audacious-media-player.org/Plugins | |
0 | 492 |
2306 | 493 You should note that third-party plugins are not supported by the Audacious |
494 development team, and that you should report any issues with them on our forums, | |
495 but NEVER on our bugtracker. | |

2306 | 497 3.7 Playlist Manager |
498 -------------------- | |
0 | 499 |
2306 | 500 Audacious supports multiple playlists (think foobar2000). For the manipulation of |
501 playlists, we have included a playlist manager tool. | |
0 | 502 |
2306 | 503 It is accessible from the Playlist menu. |
0 | 504 |
505 | |
506 4. Command Line Options | |
507 ----------------------- | |
508 | |
2306 | 509 audacious --help will produce: |
0 | 510 |
2306 | 511 Usage: audacious [options] [files] ... |
0 | 512 |
513 Options: | |
514 -------- | |
515 | |
516 -h, --help Display this text and exit. | |
1174 | 517 -n, --session Select Audacious/XMMS session (Default: 0) |
0 | 518 -r, --rew Skip backwards in playlist |
519 -p, --play Start playing current playlist | |
520 -u, --pause Pause current song | |
521 -s, --stop Stop current song | |
522 -t, --play-pause Pause if playing, play otherwise | |
523 -f, --fwd Skip forward in playlist | |
524 -e, --enqueue Don't clear the playlist | |
525 -m, --show-main-window Show the main window | |
526 -v, --version Print version number and exit. | |
2306 | 527 -H, --headless Headless operation |
528 -E, --enqueue-to-temp Enqueues to a temporary playlist. | |
0 | 529 |
530 You can specify files on the command line, e.g: | |
531 | |
2306 | 532 audacious file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3 |
533 audacious *.mp3 | |
534 audacious playlist.m3u playlist.pls playlist.xspf | |
0 | 535 |
2306 | 536 If you do this while Audacious is running, the current playlist |
0 | 537 will be cleared and the files/playlist specified on the command |
538 line will be used instead. | |
539 | |
2306 | 540 To keep the current playlist intact use the -E option, which will |
541 create a new temporary playlist with the requested media, or the | |
542 -e option, which will append to your currently selected playlist. | |

608 If you have a windows partition with Winamp installed, a good idea would be to |
0 | 609 set the SKINSDIR variable to that dir. |
610 | |
1174 | 611 Audacious features some command line options like next/previous songs, those |
0 | 612 things can be binded to a key. I use AfterStep and the useless window keys |
613 for this. Here is an example from my .steprc: | |
614 | |
1174 | 615 Key Meta_R A N Exec "Audacious" audacious -r |
616 Key Menu A N Exec "Audacious" audacious -f | |
0 | 617 |
618 If you want all your mp3's in one playlist an easy way is: | |
619 locate .mp3 > /path/to/playlistname | |
620 | |
621 (considering you have a fairly recent updatedb, don't blame us if locate don't | |
622 find the file you downloaded 3 minutes ago) | |
623 | |
624 | |
625 8. Bugs | |
626 ------- | |
627 | |
1174 | 628 Audacious is under heavy development and as such, has quite a number of |
0 | 629 bugs. Our bug tracker page is maintained at: |
630 | |
2306 | 631 http://bugs-meta.atheme.org/ |
0 | 632 |
633 It will continue to have bugs as we fix and introduce new ones through | |
634 rewriting and enhancement. Help us along by reporting new bugs, and | |
635 verifying existing ones. | |
