Hello SuSE people.
Just upgraded to 10.0 from 9.2 Used to use Xmms to listen to my CDs' mp3s' etc. Couldn't load any music into it so I decided to try amarok. First I had to change the engine from helix to xine (whatever the helix engine is) Now I can load and play my mp3's wav's etc. from the hard drive.
Cannot however, make it find and play a music cd. Will it do that? or is it just me? Must have spent an hour exploring the menus without any success. Somebody put me on the right track here?
Just a guess: do you have set something like "digital signal extraction" somewhere in the preferences? IIRC most if not all linux media players don't have that enabled as default and thus require a cable between the CD drive and the soundcard. At least for xmms I had to do this on my SUSE 10.0 installation.
