Not entirely sure what the CDDB preferences have got to do with anything... (Nor the spamming of BMPx, but there you go)
The problem *may* be that the other players do CDDA (note not CDDB) but I don't think gnome-cd 2.8 did that, and so it requires a cable inside your computer to link it to the CD Audio connector on your motherboard. 2.8 is rather old and I believe more recent versions don't have that problem, but I've not used it for a very long time... iain On 3/20/07, Stefan Kost <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi, > > I am not sure where the cddb preferences ended up.
