Audio CD's with XMMS

[jbstew32]

I compiled XMMS on Slackware (with the CD player plugin thing for playing music CD's) and I can't play audio CD's! I don't even see an option to do so. The plugin is configured and everything. I know this stupid, i just never really thought about it before (i use the GNOME CD player applet)

Is your system configured, perhaps, for a CD-R? Is your CD player now /dev/scd0 not /dev/cdrom? If so, make the needed configs in xmms under Audio I/O plugins>CD Audio Player.

look for "Play Location" i think its Ctrl L, and point it to your cdrom drive /example

/mnt/cdrom

and that should do it

[Strike]

not /mnt/cdrom - that is a directory on a hard drive

/dev/cdrom, or /dev/scd0 (if that's right) like pipe said (or /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd). Point to the device, NOT the mount point (audio CDs have no filesystem and hence cannot be mounted).

It is not setup as a CD-R...it is just /dev/cdrom and /dev/hdc. I never tried that. I thought play location was just for online stuff. ok, I will give it a shot.
