Re: Playing Audio CD's

Hi,

Now I've got my CD player working, I can also use XMMS to play CD's

Here's what I had to do to do it.
Go to the XMMS Options->Preferences screen
You should have a list of Audio I/O plugins
In your list should be a plugin called CD Audio Player 1.2.6 [libcdaudio.so]
If you don't, you're missing some XMMS components and will need to install 
them. Probably by installing them from the SuSE ftp site.
(This link is for SuSE 8.0)
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.0/suse/snd1/xmms-1.2.6-139.i386.rpm

Press Configure to set up the plugin
It has 2 boxes in the device section. Directory and Device. Make sure they 
point to a valid device and a valid mount point.

e.g On my PC, device is /dev/cdrecorder and the directory is /cdrecorder 

Once you've done that, you can attempt to add files to you play list, navigate 
to the mount point you set up in the plugin and the CD files should be in 
there.

Hope this helps

Later

Jason
