I think I've found an annoying bug on LXDE (Lubuntu 11.10) for all 3.x versions of audacious. I currently run 3.1.1 version, and i use audacious with "winamp classic interface" and playlist activated.
When I launch Audacious, both main window and playlist window have focus. But when switching to other programs and then back to audacious, only the main window appears, the playlist window stay in background. This problem appears not only when switching with taksbar button, but with ALT+F4 too.
I didn't have this problem with 2.5.x versions.

Audacious currently supports the MPRIS 1 API but is not MPRIS 2 capable.

More desktop applets (MPRIS Applet in GNOME and Xfce, xfce4-soundmenu-plugin in Xfce, Ayatana Sound Menu in Ubuntu) are able to control only players supporting the latest version of the MPRIS standard (like Amarok, Banshee, Clementine, Guayadeque, Pragha, Rhythmbox, Spotify, VLC, xnoise, etc) and are not able to control MPRIS 1 capable players like Audacious.

I think it would make sense to implement an MPRIS 2 interface in Audacious.

1. Make search bar permanently visible and place it between play buttons (Open, Add ...) and playback options buttons (repeat, shuffle, volume) - there's a lot of space for it, especially on modern wide screen displays (1920px width).

2. Make search work for all visible columns (e.g. I may want to see all songs from 2011, or all Classical songs, or songs containing the word "Love").

3. After the user enters a search query all playlist items not satisfying the search query should be automatically hidden, then - Ctrl+A -> Right Mouse click -> "Create a new playlist" out of these items. This will eliminate the need of the left column altogether.

4. On a first run Audacious should allow creating Library out of any number of user defined directories. File -> Library/Add Folder should show this dialog allowing the user to add/remove his favourite directories (see the attached screenshot).

Having the info popup available in GTKUI is great. Right now, however, the popup is only updated when the mouse pointer moves. The song that should be shown in the popup (i.e. the row under the mouse pointer) can also change when the playlist is scrolled (either with the mouse scroll wheel or the keyboard). It would be nice to have the popup updated or at least hidden when this happens.

Currently it works by specifying a crossfade interval without taking into consideration the sound strength at the end of a current song and the beginning of a consequent song. I have quite a lot of songs which have up to 5 seconds of silence at the end of them, others have a considerable amount of silence at the beginning. Other songs have no silence at all, so there's no way I can specify the right interval to crossfade.

The only way to solve this problem is to preread the specified amount of seconds of audio data, calculate sound level and if it falls below a given value, crossfade should be called into action.

It's already implemented by http://www.eisenlohr.org/xmms-crossfade/ - I hope this plugin will be included into the future Audacious releases.

In the latest releases Audacious started coming by default with the GTK user interface enabled.

As a consequence of this, some controls in the Playlist preferences (the 'Show popup information for playlist entries' and the Miscellaneous section in the 'Popup Information Settings' dialog box) don't have any meaning anymore, unless the Winamp Classic Interface is selected instead of the default one.

One possible solution is to specify 'in the Classical Interface' (or similar) in these controls labels, to make clear that they only have effect in the Winamp Classic Interface.

Another solution, a better one imo, is to move the 'Cover image retrieve' preferences away from the Popup Information Settings dialog box into a more appropriate location (like a new dialog box in the 'Metadata' section) and just rename the 'Popup Information' section as 'Classic Interface' or similar (see attached mockup).

pulse_set_volume() doesn't actually change anything when not playing; it only sets the local "volume" variable. As a result, the volume jumps back to the previous setting as soon as you start to play a song.

Current list view of songs is not very helpful if you have 1000 albums. An hierarchical/expandable album/songs view or better still album artist/album/song view in both library and playlists would be much more functional. And if you can also add album cover arts to that list it would be great.

Splean (an XMMS2 client) implements this though with too small album covers. Attached.

Currently there's no way to jump to a song being played and that becomes a real issue when your playlist is sufficiently large/long.

As such it would be nice if Audacious showed a song being played in the status bar and if the user clicks on it, Audacious jumps to it (showing the song in the middle of the screen whenever possible).

Hello.

I found that cue plugin crashing audacious when the file type in cue sheet is incorrect. There's an example of such cue sheet in attach. People often use some non-standard file type identifiers like a "FLAC" instead of standard "WAVE".
Also I made a patch to avoid this (for version 3.1.1, but it can be also applied to current git source). On my way it causes an assertion instead of segfault.

Hope that it will be helpful for you.

Many users music libraries are made of some nicely named albums with covers and booklet scans and some messy albums with a single non-standard named image file.

In this scenario Audacious would correctly find the cover art from the nicely named files but wouldn't find anything in more messy folders (where the image files don't match the cover image retrieve Include list). Removing all the words from the Include list would solve the problem with the messy albums but will probably make Audacious choose the wrong cover art file from the nice folders containing more than one single image file.

I think it would be useful to have an option like 'Search other images if searching these words did not produce results', in order to give the user the choice to use the Include list as a list of preferred words to give priority to, instead of completely excluding all the non-matching filenames.

Maybe it could also be a good idea to make this the standard behaviour.

i built and installed the audacious 3.1.2 & its plugins from source; but whereas audacious 2.4.4 packaged in debian linux works fine with streaming acc & mp3, 3.1.2 built from source gives this error when a .m3u file is loaded:

No decoder found for http://glb-stream14.streamserver.ch/1/rsj/aacp_64
and
No decoder found for http://glb-stream12.streamserver.ch/2/rsj/mp3_128

it plays mp3 files ok, so that decoder does appear to work; i have not tried an .aac file.

worse yet, if i open the .m3u file in aud 2.4.4 and start it playing, then shutdown 2.4.4 and bring up 3.1.2, the "no decoder" message does not come up, the current stream track title is displayed in the playlist, aud says "buffering" and hangs while consuming CPU cycles, and can only be killed with 'kill -9 '

i will upload the .m3u file(s) i used. aud 3.1.2 and plugins configured and built with no errors.

Starting the playback of any mp3 stream results in the following errors on the console:

[mp3 @ 0x9014300] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

Then the stream is correctly played but the song title is never updated.

The options to control the way Audacious searches for cover images (which words to look for in the filenames, whether to perform a recursive search, etc.) are currently found by opening the Popup Information Settings dialog box from the Popup Information section of the Playlist preferences.

But the retrieval of cover images is not a feature of the popup information box only. Cover images are in effect retrieved and displayed in many places (the Info Bar, the Track Information dialog box, etc.) and are not necessarily related to the popup information.

A user wanting to fine-tune the retrieval of the cover images displayed in his Info Bar (for example) won't look at the 'Popup Information' settings. I think the most intuitive and appropriate place would be the Metadata section (see attached mockup).

In most other audio jukbox'es queue manager is implemented as a special system playlist (e.g. called "Play Queue").

This solution has several serious advantages:

1. You can see all queued songs at a glance
2. There's no need to clutter the interface with an extra queue column in a playlist
3. You can easily wipe the queue and reorder the songs to be played

If this feature request is to be implemented then the queue column can be be safely dropped/removed altogether freeing space and making the UI less cluttered.
