Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdemultimedia
I must say I'm more than a bit disheartened to see bugs like #121177
marked invalid, as I stumbled across this bug today for the first time,
with a fully up-to-date 10.04 install. I don't care whether the reason
is "Amarok doesn't play audio CDs", or "Amarok doesn't support
kioslaves", or "KSCD can play discs just fine", the original bug is
still there.
When I insert an audio CD, I get a helpful autorun dialog, which gives me the
following options:
- rip CD iwth k3b
- copy CD with k3b
- open disc with Dolphin
- play disc with Amarok
No matter which of my 2 disc drives I use, Amarok keeps reporting "0
tracks" (when I press eject, it does open the correct tray). And when I
choose "open disc with Dolphin", it shows no tracks and reports "failed
to read" in the statusbar. Only k3b handles the disc well, but that's
useless to me because I don't want to rip. I want to play.
Some reports mention the ability to change the device path to the cdrom drive
in Amarok's settings, but:
- that option does not appear to exist in this version (2.3.0)
- the whole point of using a DE is the ability to be blissfully unaware of
device files
Of course, the CD plays just fine with vlc.
