static Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Can anyone tell me how you properly get xmms to play cd's?? I've had so much trouble trying to figure this out! I know this: [*]Start xmms [*]Configure the cd plugin to point to (is it /dev/cdrom or /mnt/cdrom??) [*]Now what???!!?!?! TIA guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 after that, open up aumix and make sure that the cd volume is turned up. default is off. I just followed you're instructions and did this, and now it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static Posted July 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Yeah but how do you play a cd? I can't add cd songs to my playlist! Unless I'm doing something wrong <shrug> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 all you have to do is click >add< , select "dir" and point it to /mnt/cdrom. at least thats all I had to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static Posted July 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Cool - thanks! I suppose you're using supermount and you configured the plugin to look at /mnt/cdrom as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 no i avoid supermount like the plague!!! i did however point the plugin to /mnt/cdrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 using supermount and you configured the plugin to look at /mnt/cdrom as well?I use sm, but all I do with the plugin is make sure it's checked off :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static Posted July 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 And you can play cd's?? (If not, why confuse the crap outta me? :?) :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Yep. Always have. Never once have I even looked at the cd plugin other than to see if it's checked off. Heh, I didn't know you could change where it pointed to, is all I was saying. Not trying to confuse ya :wink: Basically, I've always played cd's with xmms, with sm enabled. That's all.

ezroller Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I would have quit linux at the start if it had not been for xmms. I love it. I just wish there was something that could use winamp 3 skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I would have quit linux at the start if it had not been for xmms. I love it. I just wish there was something that could use winamp 3 skins. there was a short attempt at porting (or just plan out making a version of) winamp3 to (for) linux, but it died out quickly. i never really liked winamp3 myself, but that's just a personal opinion :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
