Can't play audio cd

Hi,

This is probably a very basic thing, but I'm having problems playing an audio cd. I know that for audio cd's you do not mount them like you would a regular cd-rom, but I just can't get XMMS to play audio cds.

I have the directories in the XMMS Cd module set to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and /mnt/cd; I've also tried using /dev/hda with no success. Cdtool reports that theres "no disc" in there, even when there is.

The drive reads cd-roms, dvds all fine.. but I don't know whats going on with audio cds. Any suggestions?

Click on open file.
Go to /mnt/cd. You should get a listing of the tracks.
Click on "Add all files in directory"
Click on "Close"
Click on Play. The tracks should be in the playlist.

Or you could check out dcd which is 1000x easier.

Just a suggestion.
