root #emerge --ask media-sound/audacious media-plugins/audacious-pluginsUsage
- To put Audacious in classic Winamp mode, go to View > Interface > Winamp Classic Interface.
- To insert classical Winamp EQ presets:
user $wget -O $HOME/.config/audacious/eq.preset https://gist.github.com/666threesixes666/6017524/raw/6f92831829453dd659f063299ba1bdf775a893ac/wapresetsTroubleshooting
PipeWire
When running Audacious with PipeWire, you may experience the following error:
user $audaciousERROR ../src/pipewire/pipewire.cc:341 [init_core]: PipeWireOutput: unable to initialize loop
Switching to PulseAudio or ALSA in settings should resolve this.
Context Menu opens wrong application
When right-clicking a song from the playlist, "Open Containing Folder" does not respect the preferred file manager. This can be fixed by changing the default application in the desktop environment (e. g. Xfce). The corresponding MIME-Type is called inode/directory.
