 |
|
Hi all,
I'm looking for a nice cd player and I couldn't find anything usefull while googling (not so much googling i've to admit...).
As of now, I'm using kscd 4, which is pure crap.
Audacious can't play CD anymore since version 2. Don't know if some use flag is missing, but I already checked and didn't see any use flag whose name could be relevant to solve my issue.
I don't want a CD ripper. I do own the CD and I just want to be able to play it in a nice interface (title display, time remaining, keyboard shortcuts, cddb entry).
I was hopping cd paranoia could solve the point, however, couldn't find any gui frontend that is only a player.
I'm sure many know some program names.
Thanks in advance

For kde, I would recommend Amarok. For gnome, Rhythmbox. There are both solid and very attractive design. the only question is if you prefer qt or gtk deps.

Well, regardless of how badly audacious maintainer handles some of the bugs,
cdaudio playback should work.
See cdda useflag on audacious-plugins and setting of the relevant plugin.
Post your useflags and versions of audacious and audacious-plugins anyway. |

Thanks for that. I never saw that use flag. The audacious-plugins are recompiling at the time I write this comment.
I'll give a try, but should work. I guess that even if Audacious is supposed to be buggy, they should at least be able to program the basic functionnalities for a CDDA player, shouldn't they?
Thanks anyway for the answers. |

Works well.
In fact, in earlier Audacious2 versions, if I remember well, there was no cdda capability, mainly because Audacious2 was more or less unstable.
I stayed on this idea, but seems that Audacious has evolved... |

| I didn't say audacious is buggy, just that its maintainer is. |
