De eerste bètarelease van Audacious versie 3.7 is uitgekomen. Audacious is een lichtgewicht en opensource-muziekspeler en in zekere zin de opvolger van xmms. Het programma kan audio-cd's afspelen of muziekbestanden op de computer, maar ook direct streamen van internet. Het heeft een equalizer aan boord en kan overweg met Winamp-skins. Downloads zijn beschikbaar voor Windows en verschillende Linux-distributies. De changelog voor deze uitgave kan hieronder worden gevonden.
New featuresQt interface improvements
- Playlists can be shuffled by whole albums rather than single tracks.
- Internet streams can be recorded while playing via a simple record button (GTK+ only).
- The playlist export window displays supported formats in a drop-down list (GTK+ only).
- A new, unified window has been added for managing equalizer presets (GTK+ only).
- The user interface automatically adjusts to be more usable on high-resolution screens (GTK+ only).
- An "Edit Lyrics" option has been added to the LyricWiki plugin, which opens the edit page for the current song.
- Guessing of missing tag fields can be disabled (#513).
- Decoding and playback of standard input is possible with e.g.
echo file.mp3 | audacious -
The Qt interface can be customized with several new appearance settings. Many other small fixes and improvements have been made, such as a visualizer in the info bar, to bring the interface closer to feature-parity with the GTK+ interface.
In addition, the following plugins have been ported to Qt:

- Older Winamp skins without eq_ex.bmp are loaded correctly (#555).
- Absolute file paths using legacy character sets are loaded correctly from M3U playlists (#568).
- Winamp skins with undersized bitmaps are displayed correctly (no more gray blocks).
- The latest version of libguess is included to allow character set detection on all systems.
- In dual GTK and Qt builds, incompatible plugins are hidden to avoid confusion.

- The crossfade effect handles songs of different sample rates more gracefully (no warning message). However, resampling is still recommended to avoid clicks between songs.
