Audacious: player musicale

Stavo quasi per impazzire per cercare un player esteticamente carino, che non dovesse portarsi dietro mezzo Kde come Amarok, che non abbia una schermata enorme come iTunes ma che assomigli il più possibile al mio caro vecchio Winamp, che supportasse lo scrobbling su last.fm, che sia insomma un tantino moderno. La soluzione che fa per me sembra sia Audacious. Per installarlo:

apt-get install audacious

Edit: ho fatto un pò di giri sulla rete per cercare di importare i file EQF di Winamp, ma Audacious non vuole proprio saperne. Eccola la soluzione:

[Equalizer preset]
Preamp=0
Band0=8
Band1=4
Band2=-4.8
Band3=-8
Band4=-2.4
Band5=4
Band6=8
Band7=10.4
Band8=10.4
Band9=10.4

Copiare il testo di sopra, salvarlo in un file e importarlo su Audacious.
