Go to Xmms preferences and configure the "cd audio player" plugin. There you can set the cd device and an associated directory. Even though you don't need to mount audio cds, in xmms you play a cd by playing this directory as if it were a directory of audio files. It makes sense to make it the same as your mountpoint. Note that there are two ways to play CDs, one is via the direct link between the drive and the sound-card, the other is to read the tracks of the disk and play them like files. Basic CD player apps only use the former, but more sophisticated players like xmms can do either. I mention this because if you dont have that wire fitted, you will need to switch the xmms cd plugin to "digital audio extraction". _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
