Need help with Audacious, maybe revert to older v?

[mintbox7]

Hi I just installed Audacious and I usually run it in Winamp skin mode, the problem I have with it is that when I use any winamp type skin (one of the default ones) the playlist cannot be enlarged, neither the width or the length. So its impossible to see more than 10 songs at a time, and you can't even see the full song details.

There is a small triange at the bottom right corner of the playlist, pull on this one and you enlarge the playlist, except its not working, if I pull that triange the playlist detaches and moves around instead!!

I use LM11 main, and according to the package manager I have version 2.4.4-1 installed. There is no way to install older known to work versions from the package manager.

In LM 9 main Audacious worked with no problems. Which version is the one that gets installed with LM9 when using the package manager?
How can I install that version and getting it working properly? I'm worried about dependencies if I have to install it manually, since I saw there were a few dependencies downloaded when I installed it from the package manager. I have 2.4.4-1 installed right now.

Also after fiddling around with it for a while I reverted back to that non winamp theme, and somehow I managed to make the menu disappear (remove/hide main menu or similar), so now I have no way of getting to the preferences at all. How do I get the main menu button back with the GTK skin?

Use Ctrl+Shift+M to show the menu. I don't know much about your other questions, and I don't use the winamp skin mode, but I'm using version 2.4.0, that was in the Mint software manager and the playlist in winamp mode is fully resizable. Though I'm using Mint 10 Julia here.

That got me the menu back. I guess I'm forced to run this version. At least one more person has this problem.

I don't know if it's a satisfying answer, but the GTK-view seems to be resizable for me. Then again, I don't feel the need to do that often.

You could try adding the PPA for the newer version 2.5 and see if that one works better for you.
