How do I play my own burned cd from windows?
 

I have many .mp3 files on my windows section of my harddrive and I wanted to play them on linux. I use fedora linux. Windows automatically picks up the cd and plays it while as with linux, it doesnt work at all. My sound works as far as i know, I dont have any sound to play on it but my mic works. How do I play my cd?

have you installed mp3 support for fedora?

ok, i installed that rpm and it worked fine, the rpm that is. Then I just downloaded a free mp3 file from mtv.com to see if it would play, indeed it did. Or it showed that it was, but i cannot hear the music. Also I have NO idea how to load my stupid cd onto my computer. Such as download them from my cd onto my computer. So in summary, I cannot hear sound and I cannot download or play my cd. Also, I checked KMix and it said all of my bars were all the way up and nothing was muted. So there ya go. Also I'm using fluxbox so if u happen to know how to do it in command it would help alot. Thanks

did you create the cd as an audio cd or as a collection of mp3's? if audio, no need to mount, just play it with kscd or xmms (may need plugin ?). if its mp3's, you'll need to mount the cdrom after you've inserted the cd.

check your permissions. you may need to edit your /etc/fstab.

my fstab says:

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

so what do i change?

-botamis

change

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

to

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0

you'll have to be root to make the edit.
good luck.
