Please read before typing: "No, it is not possible with Audacious on its own" is a *totally OK* answer **I would accept** as the answer, if so. If you *do not know* that is totally OK, but please **do not** speculate out-loud here for the sake of getting points. Please do not recommend a solution that involves a disparate piece of software (like caffeine-ng). When playing back music with Audacious, my desktop computer (running Manjaro) goes to sleep after 10 minutes (as configured in power settings). This does not happen when playing back video in programs like mpv or VLC. Can Audacious itself be configured somehow to keep the computer awake while playing music?

I simply want to display audio files as full path names, without any metadata being read. When I search for audacious ignore metadata, audacious don't read tag metadata, and similar, the only results I see is people having issues with metadata not being read. I tried Output -> Audio Settings ... -> Playlist and + Title format: Custom + Custom string: ${file-name} but it gets ignored.

I have some mp3 files with Cyrillic chars on file names and also on their tags. I'm using audacious to play them. See the file info below: Is it possible to change some encoding to show the contents correctly? **Âûñîêî** should be **Высоко**, I guess.

I had installed PulseAudio Volume Control and audacious on wheezy. I used the HDMI cable to view a video file via TV. After I removed the cable, audacious stopped responding and hanged and because I don't still know how to kill a program or process I just restarted the system. Now Debian starts and shows the login screen but after logging in, it shows the login screen again. I used the recovery mode to remove both the applications but not any difference is occurred and I don't know how to fix my problem and log in.

My operating system is Debian 9.1 with Cinnamon 3.2.7. I installed Audacious (version 3.7.2) from the Package Manager and want to update to the latest released. Per these instructions , I attempted to update by entering the following commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt update sudo apt install audacious After a prompt to press Enter, I received the following output: gpg: keybox '/tmp/tmpseyl6p36/pubring.gpg' created gpg: /tmp/tmpseyl6p36/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created gpg: key 531EE72F4C9D234C: public key "Launchpad webupd8" imported gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

I am playing background music on audacious player. At the same time I am watching youtube videos. The problem is that the volume on Audacious is the Master volume, so it is impossible to have volume down on audacious and high volume whilst I am watching youtube videos. Is there a way to have a different volume for Audacious?

I am using Audacious 3.9 as my default music player on my Fedora Gnome 27 and I'd like to remove a song of my current playlist, but the matter is: there is no choice for that neither in right-click menu on songs nor any delete icon, etc. I also searched for that but the result was enabling a plugin that remove song files! Now please let me know if it is possible. Thanks.

I have installed Audacious on Xubuntu 13.04 and when it's in WinAmp mode the playlist is too small to display songs (I need to resize it but then it's bigger then a player and it don't look good) because it display Album name. Is it posible to format what is displayd in playlists or maybe just remove the album?

After audacious -p song.mp3 I got the following: > ** WARNING ** > > Audacious has detected that your ALSA device has a broken timer. A workaround is being used to prevent CPU overload.
