Audacious is a free and open source media player for Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix-like operating systems. It's lightweight size and easy plugin extensibility makes it very versatile, and being written in GTK+ means it fits in great to a GNOME desktop.

Tuning into the streams

Right click on the title bar and click Play location (or enter CTRL+L). In the Enter location to play textbox, enter one of the following URLs:

Useful tips

After double clicking the title bar for a handy little window!
  • If your screen real estate is limited, just as you can with Winamp and Noatun you can double click the title bar to shrink the window down into a tiny bar! If you choose to do this, make sure you also right click the title bar, choose View and click Always on top (or enter CTRL+O) so it doesn't get buried by other windows.
  • If the status bar that shows the currently playing song scrolls by too fast or you want to see the name again without waiting for it to loop back again, just click it with your mouse and drag it!
  • If the txst in the window is too darn small to read comfortably, right click the title bar and click Properties. Under the Appearance tab, you can adjust the font size.
