Audacious als Linux-Alternative zu Winamp
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Audacious is a solid Linux replacement for Winamp for users who mainly need audio playback, playlists and skinning. It matches Winamp’s classic look with Winamp skins, offers a plugin system, and runs with very low resource usage, making it suitable for older hardware or minimalist setups. It lacks built‑in video playback, so anyone who relied on Winamp’s limited video support will need a separate video player. Overall, Audacious works well for music‑centric workflows and for users who value a lightweight, customizable UI.

Ihre Winamp-Dateien öffnen
Audacious can open any standard audio file that Winamp could (MP3, AAC, OGG, FLAC, etc.). Winamp’s playlist formats (M3U, PLS, XSPF) are also readable by Audacious, so you can import existing lists without conversion. Winamp’s skin files (.wsz) are supported, but custom Winamp plugins are not compatible.
Von Winamp zu Audacious wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Install Audacious from your distribution’s repository or via Flathub.
- Copy your music folders and existing playlist files (M3U/PLS) to the new system.
- Place any Winamp Classic skin files (.wsz) into Audacious’s skin directory (~/.config/audacious/Skins).
- Open Audacious, load your playlists, and select the desired skin from the UI settings.
- Install additional plugins (e.g., visualizers, lyrics) through your package manager if needed.
