  1. Hello!
    I tried this on Linux Mint 9 (based on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx) but it doesn’t update my audacious.
    I’m stuck with version 2.5.3 that’s available in the repositories.
    I tried to install from the source files available on their website without success.
    Help please?

    • This repository for installing Audacious 3.0 in Natty Narwhal only, unfortunately it won’t work in Lucid Lynx based.
