Hi all

It was indeed that little cable. When i looked it
didn't exist :) [not very good with hardware] i will
need to buy one and try that out!



In the meantime, I think there are other applications that play CDs the hard way, especially as evidenced by Jason's post. I don't know what they are, as I've actually never played an audio CD in any of my FreeBSD boxes.



Opps, I should have just told you how I do it to begin with. I can use any app, put it is usually xmms. I config the player to play from /dev/acd0 and use digital audio only. I added a group called cd_access that could access and mount drives(cd drives only I think) and made my self a group member. I set vfs.usermount = 1 under sysctl.config. I added

own    /dev/acd0    root:cd_access
perm    /dev/acd0    0770

to devfs.conf. I set this up when I was much newer to BSD, I think I may have the wrong permissions. Anyone see a problem? I can also mount cds to any dir I own without any su or sudo stuff. I can also burncds to with this set up. When I was really new I had to run xmms as root to get it to play cds, which is why I found this group stuff out so I would not need to run xmms as root.

This should be in the handbook, anyone else think so?
