Hi,

I did the HD install last night, which went fine. I want to play a music cd, but having no success mounting the cd drive.

I tried the mount app. (sorry don't know it's proper name yet..thing on the lower right that let's you flip through devices).

I tried sudo -u root mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom which seemed to mount but complained about not providing a file system type. Tried Xmms to play cd but no files listed in /mnt/cdrom/

Hope someone can post the syntax for me.

Thx Much,
Brian

So I can now mount data cd's no problem. How do you go about playing audio cd's?

You don't mount an audio CD in order to play it

There is a menu option for playing CDs under the subsection for xmms.
