FYI: On the download page, there is a comment about possible problems
with the .deb files running on Ubuntu Linux. What I did was took the
latest .rpm file for Redhat/Fedora and from the command line in Ubuntu
Edgy (still in development) issued the command:

sudo alien -d audacious-0.2-2.2.fc4.i386.rpm

This made a file called: audacious_0.2-3.2_i386.deb

I then just double-clicked that file and the installer installed it.

Audacious works perfectly on mp3's or ogg files (of course make sure you
have all the related support files needed for playing mp3's installed).

Thought I'd just pass this along...............
