The Play command is: I personally choose to have both a scripts directory not in my $PATH, where I call the commands with explicit path, and a ~/bin directory at the beginning of my path. > mplayer /dev/sr0 cdda:// > > The option -cdrom-device is default and so is optional. Mplayer works > fine without it. The option “-cdrom-device” cannot be the default because it is not self-contained. It is possible “-cdrom-device /dev/sr0” is the default on your system. But if you give the argument to the option without the option, then I think that if you read mplayer's output more carefull you will find it tried to play it as a file, failed and skipped it. > where can find an inexpensive drive to hold about 1000 cds and find As was pointed out, we are looking at between 60 giga-octets lossy-but-transparent and 500 giga-octets lossless, so between a mid-sized USB stick and a small external hard drive.
