With xmms-cdread you have to put the device name in the CDRead configuration (e.g. /dev/hdc or /dev/scd0 ) Then to play the CD you right click on xmms, select Play File, then in the dialogue box you enter the device name (e.g. /dev/scd0 ) It will not work if you select the mount point (e.g. /mnt/cdrom ) derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] XMMS and cdread plugin
If I can correct myself - xmms-cdread is not on your CDs it is on the mirrors in Contrib. I believe I may have mentioned once or twice on this list how to set up a Contrib urpmi source :-) derek On Monday 23 Jun 2003 7:27 am, Derek Jennings wrote: On Monday 23 Jun 2003 2:53 am, Chris wrote: On Sunday 22 June 2003 08:31 pm, Dennis Myers wrote: I feel your pain.

[newbie] XMMS and cdread plugin
I've just about got my system backup again so thought I'd enjoy some cd's. Loaded up xmms and here are the problems. 1. Looking back at the archives I found Ann's message about loading the cdread plugin. Found it at rpmfind although it was the cooker version, I downloaded and installed. Bringing up the preferences in xmms the cdread plugin is nowhere to be found in the input plugin list although I've confirmed its in the correct directory under xmms. 2. I can't even bring up a list of the .wav files on my cd with xmms although .mp3s show up fine after I mount the drive. WAV files play fine with KsCD player though. Any ideas where I need to go from here?
