Audio CD not appearing in Rhythmbox

When I put an Audio CD in my CD drive I can play it with VLC by going to Media -> Open Disc -> Audio CD -> Play and it works fine.

However the Audio CD doesn't appear at all in Rhythmbox. When I go to Music -> Scan Removable Media nothing happens.

I ran Rhythmbox in debug mode (rhythmbox -d) and it gave me TONS of output. This is the output from when I click the Scan Removable Media button:

It looks like a problem with udev, but I really have no idea here.

Can anyone help?

Re: Audio CD not appearing in Rhythmbox

One last try. It's not a HUGE issue but I'd like that functionality there.

Re: Audio CD not appearing in Rhythmbox

I'm not sure, but this may be related to an issue I am having in KDE:

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20632

So far no resolution yet.

Re: Audio CD not appearing in Rhythmbox

rythmbox requires that the audio cd be mounted in gvfs in order to play it.  to see if the audio cd is mounted use this command:

gvfs-mount -l

if it is you'll see something like Audio Disc -> cdda://srX in the output

if it's not mounted in gvfs try the following command (replace srX is the name of the cdrom device in /dev/, do not include the /dev prefix):

gvfs-mount cdda://srX

then to unmount the audio cd use this command:

gvfs-mount -u cdda://srX

on my system audio cds are not automatically mounted in gvfs, since this issue doesn't bother me i've never really looked into why this is or how i can go about fixing it.  if you search for: rhythmbox audio cd gvfs, you might find some answers.
that said cd playback in rythmbox seems really buggy, just trying to play a track by double clicking on it in the track list didn't work for me, i had to muck around with the control buttons (play, ff, etc) and skip to the track i wanted to play.  you might want to use something else for playing back audio cds.
