Audacious - OLD, PLEASE USE GITHUB DISCUSSIONS/ISSUES

Yes, lack of the global hotkeys plugin is the only reason why I'm still using Foobar2000 on my Windows machines.

It was actually 3.3.4 but the version number had not been updated. Please see http://audacious-media-player.org/download for an updated build.

Regarding the Global Hotkeys, the following AutoHotkey works fine under Windows 10 and Audacious 3.8.2 :

#IfWinExist, ahk_exe audacious.exe

I never installed foobar, in Windows, for me it's Winamp, and nothing else, got the last version, 5.666 Pro and when I compare it with the default player, WMP...it's laughable how lame it is.

As for foobar though, when I trusted CCleaner (I didn't boot in windows 7 x64 ultimate in months, except once when I bought a hard drive, external and there was an error, testdisk saw it and the files on it, so i brought them back where they were) but the error message was so strange, asking me to boot into windows, do chkdsk /f, reboot TWICE (allcaps courtesy of the very long error message). And strangely it worked, I got no idea what happened there, but it seems like you can't just plug that usb 3.0 drive, from I'll admit a Hitachi brand external, I didn't see an Hitachi product in 15 years and they were TV's, in my mind they weren't the kind of corporation like Yamaha that makes EVERYTHING from sports vehicles to musical instruments (in primary school, in the list of products my parents had to buy, it was a Yamaha Recorder, no other brand, I also had a Yamaha guitar as my second guitar when learning the instrument, but I also had a Yamaha CD burner and it was considered the highest quality out there with Plextor.

Souvenirs aside, CCleaner when I ran it, I think i can still run it safely since its an old version? I dunno, but when I cleaned up stuff, it would always tell me I had an outdated foobar2000 program, so I took it out, I thought it was related to Winamp but it's not, or maybe the DFX program I used to make Winamp sound even better, but I don't bother with it anymore, it didn't like my Asus PCI express sound card.

Thanks for the AHK script, meta tech. The lack of media key functionality was my only issue on the Windows version. That helps a lot, not having to alt-tab and click Pause every time!
