Where Does Audacious Store Settings?
Audacious config file on Linux with playlists, skins and plugin settings.
Last updated
Audacious keeps settings, playlists and plugin state in a config file under its XDG folder, with skins in a Skins subfolder. The Winamp-style workflow extends to Winamp skin compatibility.
Playlists save as files you can keep anywhere, but the active queue lives in config. Copy the folder and skins plus queue survive a reinstall.
