Multimedia :: media player on dsl0.9.0



What about DVDs?
xmms was better and we are most of us sorry to lose it. however firefox is much more useful, but it would be great to get back scite and xmms.
After experimenting with some other distros I got back to DSL and loaded it on my Thinkpad 600e. I really appreciate DSL's light weight, but I'm hung up on an inability to play an audio CD. I find /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/scd0, as is /dev/sr0 which appears in dmesg to be the cdrom device. /dev/cdaudio is a link to /dev/cdrom. I can mount a data cd and view its contents but using emelFM I can't see any audio files on any of the devices. I get a Permission denied message even if I'm logged in as root. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Starting with dsl i had the same problems. I found a way to mount audio-filesystems and play audio-cd´s easily:

using the window-manager right-click on the desk.
browse in the context-menu to --> apps --> sound/mpeg/VoIP --> xmms --> xmms play cd

this will play the audio-media in your favorite cdrom-device.

I was also unable to browse the files through emelfm and when i try to mount audio-cd´s I always get a failure-code.
Hope that helps you...
