Well, interesting you mentioned this. I have this audio cable installed and after cdcontrol told the drive to play the audio CD, it is on the CD audio channel of the sound card (and the mixer channel CD, of course). I'm not sure how this is handled via the ATA cable where the CD drive usually is connected, or the SATA calbe, if it's a newer drive. Or, to make it more complicated, when the drive is a SCSI cable; I don't think SCSI transmits audio data via the SCSI cable... At least the drive should show the typical playing activity which can be checked using a headphone on the drive's front connector (if it has one). -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Playing audio CDs
*snipped for polite cleanliness* Thanks to everyone who took the time to help me out here. I think instead of playing CDs I'll just rip them, it seems a WHOLE lot easier, and of course, not having to worry about scratches is a plus ;) I think one MAJOR problem I had yesterday when I was doing all this, was that I had been awake for about 27 hours...Which is more than most Windows boxes. I was trying to remember how to configure hardware because I'm basically spoiled by easy to configure OSs like BSD and Linux, that I literally couldn't remember how to configure stuff. I think you guys can agree to that. Back in like 2000 even, which wasn't THAT long ago, I know for a fact Windows and Linux were both very different, and this wasFreeBSD 4.0? 2000 is a little spacial, it's when I bought my very first FreeBSD PowerPak with FreeBSD 4.0 on CD, the 6 CD set of tools and things, and came with The Complete FreeBSD 3rd edition. Which I still read. Lehey is a great book writer. I think one problem also, is the sheer number of albums I have. I ahve a LOT of CDs, and almost all of them currently have been ripped, and I keep two HDs in my Slackware FTP server (Which may be reinstalled with FreeBSD, which is one reason I was testing how I'd do certain things in BSD) and I have over 30 GBs of music in there. Some albums that are important to me, like my Misfits boxed set, Ramones Discography, and rare Acid Bath Demo stuff, and my complete set of Danzig work (All Misfits, Samhain boxed set, + all Danzig CDs) I have all ripped as both oggVorbis, 128 K MP3s, and 320 K MP3s (I use 128 for my I-Pod because I have a 1 GB model, can't afford the big ones) and 320 I use for my play lists on the computer so I get good sound, and oggorbis was because a while back Linux distros like SUSE couldn't give you MP3 from out of the box, because of the license thing, so I kept ogg for that. It's something that took a LONG time to do and I'll probably just continue on with ripping the rest of my CD collection and putting it all on my FTP server so that each machine I have can play music without all of them losing disk space.

What should it be good for mounting an audio CD? It doesn't have an ISO-9660 file system on it. In order to play an audio CD, you can utilize the cdcontrol command included in the base system: % cdcontrol play Refer to man cdcontrol for further options and eventually how to specify the CD device (if needed). So now I'm not sure what is the right way to do it.

None of the pages I found said it was OK to mount it, and so I'm a little confused how you play CDs, and I've used cdplay as root to make sure I had access since the one app said I couldn't access the CD drive, and nothing has happened. Permissions of the device file? % ll /dev/acd0 crw-rw-r-- 1 root operator0, 105 Feb 7 22:32 /dev/acd0 ^ ^ ^ These are important! How is the normal way of playing a regular audio CD in FreeBSD? As I mentioned, cdcontrol is a very easy way to do this. Of course, there are GUI tools that can be handy, e. g. xcd or whatever comes with KDE or Gnome (if you use this). Keep in mind that, according to FreeBSD's permission concept, you need the +r permission on the device file (see /etc/devfs.conf, /etc/devfs.rules). If you have more than one drive, you can set variables like CDROM to get rid of things like -f /dev/acd[012]. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Apparently typing /sbin first made it give me a different error message, I'm just trying to find hwo to configure a drive now. would /stand/sysinstall work for this? No. The device is configured via the /etc/fstab file that controls how to mount the disc, e. g. # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# # --- - -- - - - /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 This will expand your command % mount /cdrom to something like % mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /cdrom Also, keep in mind the permissions: You need +r for the device, and you have to be the owner of the mount target directory. Furthermore, users must be allowed to mount media which is controlled by the setting vfs.usermount=1 that is to be put into /etc/sysctl.conf. But as I mentioned before, you cannot mount an audio CD; imagine that it's technically impossible. :-) (Of course, this says nothing about that you cannot copy audio tracks, convert them into OGG/Vorbis or duplicate discs 1:1, which is ALL possible.) A final note: I see you're using /dev/cd0 for your CD drive. What about using acd0 instead (if it's an ATAPI drive)? You can specify /dev/cd0 as $CDROM if you've got a SCSI device, but then, due to permissions, I think you need to set proper access rules for the xpt device, too. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you want a simple cmd line utility I like cdrdao if u r talking of audio or VCDS. It can also blank CDs. There are any GUI tools like xcdroast, graveman cdrecord...

With xmcd, the audio cd is at least recognized as the correct artist and album name is displayed, but it will not play. Under KsCD, the cd information is not displayed, but it will at least let me push play. The only problem is that the counter stays at 00:00 and no audio comes out. Is there some other procedure that I need to do first to enable the playing of audio cd? I thought about maybe adding /dev/rcd0c to the fstab file, but I don't know if that is the way to go about it.
