Audacious Music Player 4.0 Released

Key innovations in Audacious 4.0:

  • The default has been switched to a Qt 5 based interface. The GTK2 based interface is no longer being developed, but is left as an option that can be enabled at build time. In general, both options are similar in the organization of work, but the Qt interface implements some additional features, such as a playlist viewing mode that is easier to navigate and sort. The Qt-based Winamp-like interface does not have all the functionality ready yet, so users of this interface may want to continue using the GTK2-based interface.
  • Added support for sorting the playlist when clicking on the column headers;
  • Added the ability to rearrange playlist columns by dragging them with the mouse;
  • Added application-wide volume and step size settings;
  • Implemented an option to hide playlist tabs;
  • Added playlist sorting mode showing directories after files;
  • Implemented additional MPRIS calls for compatibility in KDE 5.16+;
  • Added a plugin with a tracker based on OpenMPT;
  • Added new visualization plugin VU Meter;
  • Added an option to access the Network via a SOCKS proxy;
  • Added commands to switch to next and previous albums;
  • The tag editor now has the ability to edit several files at once;
  • Added a window with equalizer presets;
  • The ability to save and load song lyrics from a local storage device has been added to the Lyrics plugin;
