Quicktime will play your audio cd's as well as Real Player. Are you sure you have an actual audio cable connected to the drive (did you ever upgrade or swap it?)? What version of X are you running? If you go into your preferences under 'CDs & DVDs', you can set the default application to launch when inserting media. Also check the 'sound' panel for the correct output device.

Hi all
Still having a voyage of discovery with X over here ;-) I tried to play an audio CD, a store bought one which works on other players, and when any program, such as iTunes or Audion X, tries to play the disc, the little speaker icon just goes down the list of songs one after the other and doesn't play any of them. Even if you select a certain song, no go. It just scrolls down the list, no sound comes out.
Data CDs work fine, the drive doesn't seem to be defective and I can even boot off a Mac OS cd with it most of the time. Audio CDs used to work in OS 9 too, but of course Classic mode doesn't support the OS 9 stock audio CD player :-( It is kind of an example of bloatware when you have to boot up iTunes, which is 63 megs big, to play an audio CD. I know modern systems have big hard drives, blah blah blah, but still-why can't there be some little 300K system application that will play a CD? Its just a simple audio CD for pete's sake..
