They just don't make them with analog output anymore (as far as I'm aware). Haines, your problem with alsaplayer could be because you don't have analog audio from the drive. How are you trying to play it? Do you use the CD.cdda URI? Another possibility is that the new drive has been assigned a new device node by udev's persistent CD rules. Check the name of your drive. Try this: ls -lh /dev/cd* If /dev/cdrom is not listed in the output, or it is a link to a non-existent file, then that's no doubt your problem. Try changing the cdda.device setting in your config file to refer to the correct name of your drive. Or you could edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules to ensure your drive is given the correct name (and sym-link) when you reboot; but don't do that if you don't know exactly what you're doing. > messy when more than one program tries to access /dev/dsp or /dev/audio. > >> I now can't reproduce the problem.

Audio CDs do not mount. They don't have a file system. Some programs lock the drive, however. The eject command unlocks it before ejecting the disc. Check your software's documentation. -- ----- Dig the NEW and IMPROVED news sig!! ----- -------------- Shaggy was here! --------------- Ain't I'm a dawg!!
