Are there in SuSE 8.1 mp3 players (software), that can mount/umount audio cd's ?.
XMMS will - just open the device file for the CD drive in the playlist (this will normally be /dev/cdrom) And of course it opens OGG files and streams, as well as Real Audio files & streams if you download the plugin James, listening to BBC Radio Five with XMMS -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1).

I have /dev/dvd.
If I click on the DVD icon at the desktop, I get the /dev/dvd mounted, and can find the files on the cd in the /media/dvd. But this is not done by XMMS. Its done by me. Can you please tell me how the automount is being done ?. -- Erik Jakobsen

I assume you're using KDE - clickingon the icon mounts it - you don't want to mount the CD, you just want to access the device in XMMS, so don't click on the desktop icon! OGG, like MP3 is a lossy audio format, but unlike MP3, it is released under an Open Source license, so there are no patent issues, nor any danger of royalty payments for using it. Plus of course, being Free, it's better than the proprietary MP3 anyway. XMMS's OGG support is included in the xmms-plugins package on the SusE disks, and oggec which you can use instead of, say, lame to create OGGs (rather than MP3s) is in the vorgis-tools package - if you use Grip to make MP3s, this can use oggenc to create OGGs instead. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1).

I use KDE. I can see /media/dvd in the playlist, but I cannot change this to /dev/dvd. Ok about the not clicking. How do I change that /media/dvd to /dev/dvd ?.

Quite right.

I can see libogg, but not oggec ?. I have just installed this xmms-plugins from the SuSE DVD. I have also installed the FM plugin from the net since it is not on the DVD. Am I needing a hardware card now, or can I play FM via the software. Please instruct me how to do - THANKS !!.
