I just installed Ubuntu on my iMac 350 mhz, a few days ago and I ran into this skipping CD problem also. Here's the fix: xmms I had to get the CD-reader plug-in from synaptic. It was still skipping. So in xmms plug-ins I clicked on configure for the CD-reader plug-in. It was set to 4 X speed. I changed it to 8 x speed, and like magic no more skip. The other Linux CD players all still skip or don't work at all. I haven't figured out how to tell them the CD-Rom is faster, than they seem to think. As for the ones that don't play at all they must be using something close to the xmms CD-Player plug-in, which doesn't seem to work with our older macs. For now I am using xmms to play, and grip(which is slow but works)to rip. Mark Griffin -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
