Steven King <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested getting the xmms-cdread package, and
that did the trick when specifying input source /dev/cdrom. Thanks to Steven and to
Frans Ketelaars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for their kind notes, and for their pointing
out that that some systems have a missing cable from the CD to the sound card that
would allow playing the regular way. Thanks very much for the responses, Steven and
Frans.
Sincerely,
Frank Harrell
