One common reason people have trouble listening to CD's is because some manufacturers do not connect the audio cable between the CD drive and the sound card. Since Windows ME, Media player uses the IDE interface to play CD's. If you have this problem and are unable to get hold of an audio cable you can get around the problem by downloading and compiling the xmms plugin xmms-cdread If you then disable the standard xmms CDaudio plugin and configure cdread for 'data' play, then you can play your CD's through xmms. Unfortunately, there are no RPM's for xmms-cdread... derek
