Sometimes, searhcing google needs a lot of luck. Tonight, perhaps because I've sacrificed my sleep, I found an italian Arch forum where passing --driver generic-mmc-raw to cdrdao was recommended. That appears to have worked (I don't think my neighbours will thank me if I turn on the amplifier to prove that at 3am). ... In fact, that build can't play CDs anyway (missed a dependency for audacious). On my other machine, the track title shows up, so I'm confident this is fixed. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
