Well, cdcd is what I would like to use, it thinks it is playing, and did work when I had a driv with that cable, but I hear no sound now. I think it is reading the data off of the cd and I guess its not doing the correct thing with it. Can you recomend a console player with some features like rewind, fast forward, pause and title lookup, etc -- I don't mind changing if I need to change. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
