[Lubuntu] Progress on playing a CD?

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi John,

thanks for raising the issue, it gives me a clear chance to let you know
that the devs only react to bug reports [1]. We have few devs and too many
ways of people complaining about issues, please do take the time to raise a
bug report. The below link takes you through how to do it.

Thanks,

Phill.
