I wish to play cdrom music discs from an exterrnal USB CDROM drive. It
is the Rioddas drive recomended for linux.
I find that often (such as wiki.debian.org/CDDVD) I'm told to mount
the cdrive. But I can play cds without mounting. Wny is mounting
sometimes recommended?
I wanted to use aplay to play music on cdrom, but have concluded
it cannot be done in any straightforward way. Why not?
The mplayer command $ mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/sr0 cdda:// works. On
my system it relies on alsa. However, about every 15 seconds the the
process stops for about one second ane the drive LED flashes on. In
the mplayer configuration I do D not see anything about buffer size.
To simplify my life, I created a ~/scripts/play file. It is in my
PATH. The file has this content:
#!/bin/sh
mplayer /dev/sr0 cdda://
exit 0
But the $ play command only returns the aplay -help info. Why won't
the script work?
