The only other thing tha tI can think of is that if thhe music on your drive is being recognized then you may not have your audio cable that runs from the drive to the soundcard connected.
Funny you should suggest that. I had my computer ripped apart the last week or so and I had this exact same problem with sound, since I had accidentally unplugged my cable from drive to sound card.
The other thing to look for is the alsa mixer settings for "CD" or "music". Depending on various soundcard drivers, these settings may or may not be used.
Oops, I forgot he's not having a sound issue, just can't see his songs show up in the XMMS playlist. The only to check for when you add CD's to the playlist, is that you use "add directory". I don't think CD wav files will show up by using "add files" and browsing that mount point. I may be wrong.

It would help if you posted some of your errors and conf files though.
]]>Ah well. I'm not as interested in playing CDs as I am ripping them so I can put them on my iPod without booting into windows instead.

It probably works now and you just don't know it. I had to do the same thing, and I forgot to restart my "devfs" daemon. By accident, I rebooted and I suddenly had audio CD's working again.
Outside of that, if you're using "udev", I don't have a clue. Everything else everyone else here mentioned is all you need to get it working in XMMS. Just make sure you have the right "/dev" and "/mnt" entries configured like they mentioned above.
]]>Don't know for sure since I've never listened an AudioCD in Linux... hmm.. pretty weird...
]]>I'll try enabling the audio CD option in XMMS and see what it does. Thanks so far!
]]>pacman -S xmms-cdparanoia
EDIT: You don't need the xmms-cdparanoia plugin. There is an audio cd plugin with xmms. In the preferences (Audio I/O plugins), enable the CD Audio Player plugin. Then configure it such that it reads from the right device.
]]>I'm pretty sure I tried it last night, but I'll try it as soon as I get a chance. Thanks!
