I do not have the audio cable connected. My goal is to be able to rip a cd for installing on an ipod. Am leaning towards Sound Juicer as it is one my wife could operate. Only problem there is getting the right gstreamer plugins. Art On Mon, 2006-01-02 at 19:44 +0100, Joachim Schrod wrote:

It does, it's just that I stated it suboptimal :) So let me try to rephrase that: some programs just send commands to the CD player and rely on the CD/DVD drive to have an analogue connection to the sound cards while others actually read the digital information via the bus and then send that data to the sound device.
To elaborate that further:
kscd is definitively one of those programs that just send a command to the CD player, whereas xmms is a program that reads the audio data. (I had that problem a few years ago with a new system, too.)
