Audacious is a free and open-source audio player software with a focus on low resource use, high audio quality, and support for a wide range of audio formats.[6] It is designed primarily for use on POSIX-compatible Unix-like operating systems, with limited support for Microsoft Windows.[7] Audacious was the default audio player in Ubuntu Studio in 2011–12,[8][9] and was the default music player in Lubuntu until October 2018, when it was replaced with VLC.[10]
