About Audacious

Audacious is an open source audio player. A descendant of XMMS, Audacious plays your music how you want it, without stealing away your computer’s resources from other tasks. Drag and drop folders and individual song files, search for artists and albums in your entire music library, or create and edit your own custom playlists. Listen to CD’s or stream music from the Internet. Tweak the sound with the graphical equalizer or change the dynamic range with audio effects. Enjoy the modern Qt-themed interface or change things up with Winamp Classic skins. Use the plugins included with Audacious to fetch lyrics for your music, display a VU meter, and more.

Audacious runs on Linux, BSD derivatives, macOS and Windows. To download and install the latest version (currently 4.3.1), please see the download page.

If you have trouble installing or running Audacious, feel free to ask for help on the forums. You can also request a new feature or report a bug here, but please check the list of common problems first. Also remember that the developers of Audacious are volunteers and can only spend a limited amount of time on the project. If you request a major design change or report a bug without enough information for us to reproduce it, you will probably be ignored.

We can always use more help developing and translating Audacious. If you need help getting started, ask on the forums.

Download Audacious

The Audacious source is split into two packages. The “audacious” package needs to be installed before “audacious-plugins”. In each package, there is a file named INSTALL with further instructions for compiling and installing. (These instructions are not very helpful at the moment but will be improved as we have time.)

Audacious uses the Qt 5 toolkit by default, with GTK2 or optionally GTK3 as a fallback. By passing the appropriate options to ./configure or Meson, it is also possible to build Audacious in pure-Qt or pure-GTK mode (or with neither toolkit, for a headless music player “daemon”).

Most users should download the current stable release. Testing releases are likely to have problems and may not work at all. If you do install a testing release, please report any problems you find.

Current stable release: 4.3.1 (April 29, 2023)

Older releases, along with the legacy libaudclient library, are available here.

Microsoft Windows

Instructions for installing Audacious from source in Windows can be found in the win32 folder of the “audacious” source archive. If you don’t want to compile Audacious yourself, you can also download a binary version in either .zip or .exe (NSIS installer) format:

Stable release

The current version of Audacious requires at least Windows 7. Audacious 3.10.1 was the last version to support Windows XP.

Licensing notice

These files contain binaries of third-party software, whose source code is freely available on the Internet. Our intent in distributing these binaries is in no way to restrict access to the source code but simply to make life easier for those wishing to run Audacious on Microsoft Windows. If any of the authors of this software do not wish their work distributed in this way, please let us know on our forum.

Linux

Most Linux distributions provide Audacious in their package repositories. Please note that these packages can be out of date.

Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint

Users of Debian and its derivatives can install Audacious with apt-get:

Note that the versions of Audacious available in Debian stable and Ubuntu LTS releases tend to be rather out of date. Panda Jim of ubuntuhandbook.org maintains a PPA with newer versions for Ubuntu users.

Fedora

Fedora users can install Audacious using yum:

However, the “audacious-plugins” package distributed by Fedora is lacking important plugins; most notably, the MP3 decoder plugin. The missing plugins can be installed by enabling the RPM Fusion repositories and running:

# yum install audacious-plugins-freeworld 

Arch Linux, Manjaro

Audacious can be installed in Arch Linux and its derivatives using pacman:

Some plugins may fail to load unless all optional dependencies of the “audacious-plugins” package are satisfied. The ArchWiki has additional information about running Audacious on Arch Linux.

Gentoo

Gentoo includes Audacious in its portage tree, as media-sound/audacious. You can install the Gentoo ebuilds using emerge:

# emerge media-sound/audacious 

To get the latest version, you may need to use the testing branch. See the Gentoo documentation for more details.

macOS

Audacious can be installed on macOS using Homebrew. See also the formula page for more details.
