I was attempting to search for songs with the word "blue" in the title. I can't find any way to search for a specific word. All I get whenever I search in Audacious is massive lists, usually of genres. Useless. One of the things I really miss from Win is MusicBee. That program is the absolute best player I have used for people with a large library, and no Linux audio players seem to have the same type of search and categorizing functions.

Quotation marks and spaces? Like " Blue " instead of "Blue"

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

I tried every combination of quotation marks, colon, semi colon, etc. Nothing seems to work, although the Control+F suggestion does work, but it takes you through each instance one by one- you can't use it to make a list or group, etc.

Maybe ?

My work around ended up being using Clementine when I wish to make a select list. You can do word and Genre searches and such with it. Still not up to par with Windows music players like Musicbee, but it is functional.

FWIW: The "Blue" list was simply because Mrs. Sunshine was going to drive the car I had just repainted Blue.
