Apps :: XMMS - dvd/cd player

Newbie to linux and having trouble playing cd's and dvd's. Tried XMMS but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

Xmms should play cds without trouble. Make sure your disk is NOT mounted, and use the command "xmms /dev/cdrom" (if /dev/cdrom is your cd device).

As far as I know, DVD movies cannot be played with any software that is included in DSL. Check the mydsl repository for xine, mplayer, maybe one or two other apps are there as well.

Hey it worked! Got xmms to play cd's and xine to play dvds! Beautiful thing.

Thanks for your help
