Audacious is a lightweight, open-source audio player descended from XMMS that focuses on high audio quality and low resource usage. It supports many audio formats, offers GTK, Qt, and Winamp-skin interfaces, and is extensible through a modular plugin system.
Use cases

- play music with Winamp 2 skins and classic interface
- apply equalizer and audio effects to music playback
- listen to gapless playback with ReplayGain support
- stream internet radio and play CDs
- manage and edit custom music playlists
- extend an audio player with plugins like lyrics and visualizations
When to choose
- you want a fast, low-resource music player on Linux, BSD, macOS, or Windows
- you want Winamp-style skins or a choice of GTK/Qt interfaces

When to avoid
