Re: play audio cd

Audio cd format is played as a stream not mounted as data iso9660.

Alsaplayer has a audiocd software decoder,no cdreader to soundcard analog jumper wire is needed.

Open alsaplayer with audiocd in drive.

Click the PlayCD button to the left of the Previous track button. [attachment=16496,667]

Re: play audio cd

i did that before, tried it again, but it doesnt seem to do anything, i click the cd button, then click play, window comes up to select files to play, click cd, gives error.

could it be wrong file type? it are .cda files

also tried vlc player, doesnt seem to be able to play the cd too....

EDIT: just read that .cda files arent realy files... so skip that question

Re: play audio cd

Maybe the cd reader can't read the audio cd or some other hardware problem.

I only have to click the cd button and it starts playing.

If you have an internet connection and it's a commercial cd with a recognized serial it fills in the cddb info in the playlist.

Applications=>Multimedia=>Asunder CD ripper

Set preferences,Encode tab=>the core version of slitaz can rip/encode the tracks to wav or ogg.

Install lame to encode mp3.

Re: play audio cd

im pretty sure it isnt a hardware problem, i can read other cd's and dvd's (non audio), and i have been able to read this cd on my previous OS (ubuntu)

Re: play audio cd

I'd rather suggest adding your user to the group "cdrom", which should grant access without fiddling around with permissions.

Re: play audio cd

Adding a user to group cdrom of which tux is a member doesn't fix this problem with IDE cdrom drives.

Slitaz-4.0 bug in udev gives an IDE cdrom drive the same alias(hd[a,b,c,d])and group permissions(root,disk) as an IDE hard drive.

This works:

[c]addgroup [USER] disk[/c]

User tux:

[c]addgroup tux disk[/c]

Re: play audio cd

Sorry 'bout that, you're right, mojo.

I had the problem solved quite a qhile ago and mixed up with the corresponding group in my memory.
