cdrom cdrom1

[|enouf|]

WOW folks -- this has gone way beyond me.

I still cannot figure out what the problem is here. I have gone into XMMS Prefernces. There was a place (sorry can't recall the details) where I could check the disk. XMMS could apparently read the disk but could not find /media directory. I can't either. Should there be one - should I create one? Also. I neglected to note that the cdrom1 is a CD-RW (not sure tht makes any difference).

I still cannot get the drive to read a commercial or other cda disk. When I try to munt it there is a few seconds of disk activity and then I get the following KDesktop message - file:///mnt/cdrom1 does not exist.

Again any more help could be appreciated.

Open a Konsole and type this;
sudo cat /etc/fstab
should see some entries like this;

/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 iso9660 rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0

paste the WHOLE output of your file though

Please tell us what CDs you are trying with (AudioCD, DataCDs. Premade, Store bought, MP3s, DVDs, etc)

With XMMS open, right click anywhere on the player and select: Play -> Play AudioCD .

Your player does need to know where to find the audio cd.

SOLUTION FOUND

I got the audio cd to play using XMMS. Here is what I did

1. I went into O(ptions) on the XMMS menu - left side marked by an O
2. I went into Preferences
3. I selected audio CD player, Then Configure, Then Options.
4. Under Default CD Device I changed from /dev/cdrom (which has Knoppix DVD) to /dev/cdrom1 (my cd-rw device).
5. I went back to the Preference dialogue and clicked on CD Audio Player
6. I clicked on COnfigure again.
7. This time I clicked Add Drive at the bottom. In Device I added /dev/cdrom1. I also changed to Digital Audio Extraction.

I am not sure which or if all the changes made the differences and after 3 days of tyring did not want to go back. I will experiment when I next start the LiveCD since I figure I will loose these changes. THanks for those who replied and got me thinking about the Prefereces!! JJJJ
