Hi John,<div><br></div><div>you have three different bugs with three different applications. I know this may seem a pain, but raise one bug for each player. There is work going on with other player bugs, so it will help out.</div>

-----------------<br>
With Audacious, the inelegant process goes this way: Insert CD,
the popup with "Removable medium is inserted - Type of medium:
audio CD - Please select the action you want to perform"
appears, select Audacious. Audacious opens. Click the Play
button. Nothing happens. But in the menus, then choose
Services: Play CD, and it constructs a playlist and starts the
first track.<br>
<br>
With VLC, after choosing VLC in the popup and clicking the Play
button in VLC, another window appears where one must click the
Disc tab, choose Audio CD, then click the Play button in that
window.<br>
<br>
(I also find that VLC is more memory-sensitive than Audacious.
Audacious performance for CD play is smooth on a machine with
386 MB, but VLC is choppy/stuttering badly and is not happy with
less than 512 MB.)<br>
<br>
With Gnome Mplayer, after choosing it in the popup and clicking
the Play button, mplayer generated a crash error. But after
closing the error window, the Mplayer window still seemed
responsive, and it appeared that one would play a CD after
choosing the menu item Services: Play CD, but in this post-crash
instance nothing happened.<br>

I make those observations because this issue does not seem
to be an application-level problem. In Edubuntu, one
inserts a CD, chooses Rhythmbox from the popup, the app
opens, constructs the playlist and begins playing. In
short, once you have told it to play a CD with Rhythmbox, it
does so.<br>
<br>
Suggestions then, for what to file a bug report against?<br>

<div>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.</div>

Here is a good explanation of the obscure method one
must currently use to play a disc (in VLC, but the
same for other players as far as I can tell):<br>

</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Arial"><font size="-1"><font face="Arial">I understand that the
difficulty lies in the audio CD format not being
an actual file system, but i</font></font>n short,
one currently has to explicitly open the disc in the
player even after choosing a player in the auto-play
popup. I read that Ubuntu accomplishes Windows-like
simplicity in this regard, and it would be nice if
users didn't need a How-To in order to play a CD.<br>
<br>
(And before I even got to this point, I had to
overcome the obstacle that I couldn't even open the
drive. Pressing the open button got no response - the
drive appeared to be dead. This turned out to be a
user privileges issue. The default user privileges
established when one installs Lubuntu don't grant
permission for this.)<br>
