Alternatively drag the skin file directly into the list view of available skins. Audacious is designed to produce high quality sound while using low resources. It is highly customizable to meet your needs. You can install add-ins or plug-ins to increase the power of the program. You can install a wide variety of skins to change the look of the program. It also supports Winamp skins, so it is a very versatile program.
Audacious is a fast and free music player which can play all of the major audio file formats as well as skins designed for Winamp.
The basic layout of Audacious is rather basic and all of its functions are accessed via the menu bar. Playlists can be created by adding files from a directory containing music files.
Audacious has full support for plug-ins which can enhance of change the way music sounds. By default, Audacious includes a number of effects including dynamic range compression, extra stereo, LADSPA host, silence removal, voice removal, crossfade, speed and pitch and others.
Visualizations are also a main feature of Audacious and add that extra bit of color to the program. It comes with 3 different visualizations including Blur Scope, OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer and a basic Spectrum Analyzer.
The appearance of the msuic player is customizable and out-of-the-box, Audacious can use a Winamp-look-alike or its native GTK interface. The Winamp Classic skin is customizable in itself.
All-in-all, Audacious is a very fast and beautiful audio player which includes all of the most-used features that the casual music listener likes.

I am a pedant and I like if my audiofiles have correct homogenous tags and names. I dislike missing album or artist field and filenames like “01 – Track 01”. That’s why I adore Easytag (http://projects.gnome.org/easytag/) – a robust tag editor with tasty features like tag encoding conversion or retrieving tags from filenames.
I found only one problem in Easytag. It allows to open the selected file with an audio player. The thing is that if you use Audacious, then it will occasionally switch to its default skin.
For example, I have chosen Classic 1.3 skin. When I select Run Audio Player, my Audacious reverts to Default skin.
Several tests shown that this problem happens only with archived skins, so, it was definitely a sign that the problem was in Audacious itself.
Easytag allows to provide a command line to launch audio player, so let’s set it as audacious --verbose -p and run Easytag from a terminal to see debug output produced by Audacious.
That’s what I was looking for:
As far as we know, Audacious has a highly modular architecture, that’s why it has a special skins plugin. This plugin runs unzip subprocess to unpack the skin archive and switches to Default skin if it has encountered problems.
But… what problems? Let’s check up the output directory:
So, unzip had done his job, but Audacious complained! It’s time to look at skin plugin source in hope that it will throw light.
Now we see that Audacious calls system function from standard C library. According to the manual,
system() executes a command specified in command by calling /bin/sh -c command, and returns after the command has been completed… The value returned is -1 on error (e.g., fork(2) failed), and the return status of the command otherwise.
Audacious Media Player
Still no ideas. Let’s look at system implementation. We can find it in glibc-2.15/sysdeps/posix/system.c. It’s quite straightforward. system manipulates SIGINT and SIGQUIT handling, calls fork and waitpid to retrieve the command exit status.
fork was successful since archive was really unzipped. What problems can happen in waitpid?
Audacious Skins Linux
ECHILD (for wait()) The calling process does not have any unwaited-for
children.
ECHILD (for waitpid() or waitid()) The process specified by pid (wait‐
pid()) or idtype and id (waitid()) does not exist or is not a
child of the calling process. (This can happen for one’s own
child if the action for SIGCHLD is set to SIG_IGN. See also the
Linux Notes section about threads.)
Xmms Skins
EINTR WNOHANG was not set and an unblocked signal or a SIGCHLD was
caught; see signal(7).
Skins For Audacious
EINVAL The options argument was invalid.
This can happen for one's own child if the action for SIGCHLD is set to SIG_IGN looks suspicious. Grep it!
We are on the right way! Easytag sets SIGCHLD handler to SIG_IGN, that’s why its child processes do not become zombies. But Audacious inherits this SIG_IGN behavior (the manual says that child processes inherit such signal handlers from parents) and cannot perform a successful waitpid. That’s why system function returns failure even for a successful unzipping.

You must remember the disk number for the SD.
It’s very easy to fix the bug. The problem is in Easytag, not in Audacious. It’s enough to set a normal handler for SIGCHLD. The handler will be called each time when a child process exits. This process resides in zombie state. The handler simply calls wait (this friend of waitpid waits for _any_ child process) thus removing zombie’s control block and freeing kernel resources that were still used by the zombie:
Now replace signal(SIGCHLD,SIG_IGN) with setup_sigchld() Preview for mac. , compile, and run Easytag – and any archived skin will be rendered without problems!
