 Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2024 5:06 am Post subject: New Install, can't play the CD |
 |
|
I just installed Libranet 2.8.1, and everything seems to work except the CD music. I can hear the test sound, but when I put in the CD and try to run Xmms, I get a box that wants me to have directories and files -- where from, I don't know. Anyways, I have never had trouble installing and using my CDplayer as soon as the installation was finished, so I have no experience with audio configuration. I did what I could in adminmenu, but that ain't much folks. Can anyone help me out? THX, JP

My advice is to use something other than xmms for CDs. It's a nightmare to get it to play anything but mp3s and oggs.
but if you want to try, here's mmmna's tutorial:

OK, How about Xine? Sasha, I don't find grip in the options, which wm does it use? I had xine working last nite for a few minutes, but this morning I can't even get the player. Right now I'm using kscd with the IceWM window manager. Boy, they sure have a lot of selections with this distro, I can be in Ice, and use apps from KDE and Gnome w/o having to change windowmanagers,etc. this is really cool, so far. Have you ever tried it? If so I'd like your opinion about likes/dislikes, advantages/disadvantages, weaknesses/strengths, etc. from your perspective. I know you already have your fave distro, but what do you think of this one (Libranet), is what I mean.(that is, of course, if you can find the time; it's getting harder and harder to get here to the LUG more than once or twice a day lately).  THX, JP

I have to use grip. It's pretty cool. It puts the music on your HD in .ogg format. Takes up about 50mb for a cd. JP, try grip and see if you like it
