Audaciously yours

The search for the perfect music player will always follow me. In any case I am currently running Audacious and for most of those who have been used to the old school WinAmp, the general look and feel of Audacious is similar to it.

In any case Audacious has some plugins which you might find useful, depending on the stuff you play. It also has an equalizer and no pre-set options. So you’d have to listen well and make sure that you get the settings of your choice if you’re not used to setting the equalizer manually. The XMMS website has the WinAmp Equalizer settings shared on its site and you can use that too. I’ve learned about that from Simon who shared the tip about using WinAmp presets on Audacious, XMMS and BMP. As for themes, you could download XMMS themes on Gnome-look
