- Do I need to change the links and/or fstab. If yes please help what and how should I modify
- why am I getting a read only message error and how do I get rid of it.
- Also is there a way I can auto mount the drives (I have two cd drives) so that I do have to mount it whenever I login or something?
I've got crazy trying to get this to work and help will be really appreciated
you access the songs directly from the device file...
like, with xmms, you just make sure you have a cd-reading plugin enabled, and then you just tell it to look for the songs in /dev/cdrom or whatever device file represents your cd-rom drive...
also, if you enable the cddb plugin, you'll get the titles for all the songs and stuff...
I tried using xmms and nothing happened. Do you think the links (in my first append) has anything to do with this. Also how do i have a cd-reading plugin enabled?
I tried using the alsa player and then I try to play /dev/cdrom and it says no stream. When I eject and put the cd back again KsCD comes up and when I try playing it the time on the player says 73:22 and starts decreasing (like it would increase when playing a CD) but I hear no sound. I have sound configured I guess because I can hear the test sound.
I am like really on the verge of getting sound!!!! have been trying from a long time...
someone pls help.....
Do I need to change permissions anywhere or something? Also do I need to configure any audio plugin (I'm asking this because with xmms in options->preferences you can configure i/o plugins. However I am unsure about the options....if someone can go over this step by step with me it would be a BIG help!!!!
in xmms configuration/preferences there's a section for configuring your "input plugins"... one of the plugins should be the one for reading cd audio... make sure it's enabled...
your xmms works, right??? i mean, you CAN listen to mp3s... just not cds (yet)... right???
Yes I can play mp3's in the alsaplayer, but not in xmms. This is what happens
If I am root I get this
[root@localhost murty]# xmms&
[root@localhost murty]# mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding
/tmp/mcop-murty is not owned by user
[root@localhost murty]# ls /tmp/mcop-murty/

If I am a user and I bring up xmms and try to play an mp3 nothing happens. I have all plugins enabled (though I'm not sure why the CD Audio Player 1.2.7 p[ugin is disabled each time I restart xmms)
Atleast mp3s on alsaplayer works!!! now if only I get audio cds to work
