Audacious
Audacious
I use the following commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps sudo apt update sudo apt install audacious audacious-plugins You can try installing just audacious without the plugins.
You might be missing some components of the software, so why not install the plugins? It’s likely just an extra feature included in the package. Review the documentation to learn what each plugin does and see if you can bypass them. The official website has a link to their forum—have you looked it up?
This PPA is needed because Audacious relies on the "audiacious-plugins" package, which Ubuntu automatically adds. Choosing to install it manually marks it as handled separately, while leaving it automatic keeps it clean and removes it if no longer needed.
Certainly. Adding more repositories isn't inherently bad, but the warning here highlights issues with too many external ones during major OS updates. The advantages for minor version changes are usually minimal compared to avoiding missing software. It's unclear how Mint handles upgrades, but typically third-party repos are turned off automatically, requiring manual re-enabling after upgrades. Compatibility with newer releases can vary. For software importance, choosing a distro with regular updates is often better. Assuming you're aware of this, make a thoughtful decision.
