<div><br>

<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>
</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Arial"><font

<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>

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>
