Almost after 2 years of its last major release, Audacious 4.0 has arrived with some big changes. + +The latest release Audacious 4.0 comes with [Qt 5][2] UI by default. You can still go for the old GTK2 UI from the source – however, the new features will be added to the Qt UI only. + +Let’s take a look at what has changed and how to install the latest Audacious on your Linux system. + +### Audacious 4.0 Key Changes & Features + +![Audacious 4 Release][3] + +Of course, the major change would be the use of Qt 5 UI as the default. In addition to that, there are a lot of improvements and feature additions mentioned in their [official announcement post][4], here they are: + + * Clicking on playlist column headers sorts the playlist + * Dragging playlist column headers changes the column order + * Application-wide settings for volume and time step sizes + * New option to hide playlist tabs + * Sorting playlist by path now sorts folders after files + * Implemented additional MPRIS calls for compatibility with KDE 5.16+ + * New OpenMPT-based tracker module plugin + * New VU Meter visualization plugin + * Added option to use a SOCKS network proxy + * The Song Change plugin now works on Windows + * New “Next Album” and “Previous Album” commands + * The tag editor in Qt UI can now edit multiple files at once + * Implemented equalizer presets window for Qt UI + * Lyrics plugin gained the ability to save and load lyrics locally + * Blur Scope and Spectrum Analyzer visualizations ported to Qt + * MIDI plugin SoundFont selection ported to Qt + * JACK output plugin gained some new options + * Added option to endlessly loop PSF files + + + +If you didn’t know about it previously, you can easily get it installed and use the equalizer coupled with [LADSP][5] effects to tweak your music experience. + +![Audacious Winamp Classic Interface][6] + +### How to Install Audacious 4.0 on Ubuntu + +It is worth noting that the [unofficial PPA][7] is made available by [UbuntuHandbook][8]. You can simply follow the instructions below to install it on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 19.10, and 20.04. + +1\. First, you have to add the PPA to your system by typing in the following command in the terminal: + +``` +sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps +``` + +3\. Next, you need to update/refresh the package information from the repositories/sources you have and proceed to install the app. Here’s how to do that: + +``` +sudo apt update +sudo apt install audacious audacious-plugins +``` + +That’s it. You don’t have to do anything else. In either case, if you want to [remove the PPA and the software][9], just type in the following commands in order: + +``` +sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps +sudo apt remove --autoremove audacious audacious-plugins +``` + +You can also check out their GitHub page for more information on the source and potentially install it on other Linux distros as well, if that’s what you’re looking for. + +[Audacious Source Code][10] + +### Wrapping Up + +The new features and the Qt 5 UI switch should be a good thing to improve the user experience and the functionality of the audio player. If you’re a fan of the classic Winamp interface, it works just fine as well – but missing a few features as mentioned in their announcement post. + +You can try it out and let me know your thoughts in the comments below! + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/audacious-4-release/ + +作者:[Ankush Das][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://audacious-media-player.org +[2]: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt5-intro.html +[3]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/audacious-4-release.jpg?ssl=1 +[4]: https://audacious-media-player.org/news/45-audacious-4-0-released +[5]: https://www.ladspa.org/ +[6]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/audacious-winamp.jpg?ssl=1 +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/ppa-guide/ +[8]: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/03/audacious-4-0-released-qt5-ui/ +[9]: https://itsfoss.com/how-to-remove-or-delete-ppas-quick-tip/ +[10]: https://github.com/audacious-media-player/audacious
