I'm assuming playing a music CD from the CD drive works under Windows.
(Some computers just aren't set up to play music CDs from the CD drive, in
which case it won't work under Windows or under Linux no matter what you
do.)
Alternative #1:
I'm assuming you have xmms installed. (If not, "yum install xmms".)
Click the "PL" button on xmms to open the playlist. At the bottom of the
playlist there's an "Add" button ... click and hold that button and it
will display a "Dir" option. Click that option and it will open a window
entitled "Select directory to add". Find the directory called
"/media/cdrom/", select it, and hit "Ok". That should add your audio CD
tracks to the playlist.
Alternative #2:
yum install grip
This will install a program that can both play audio CDs and encode them
to mp3s as well. After you install it, find it in the menus or run it from
the command-line by typing "grip".
