If you feel adventurous, try my little script that uses mplayer for CD playing on the command line. :-) You need the following small packages in addition to mplayer: cdtool setcd abcde (abcde is actually a very nice ripping script, but I use it for cddb lookups - and all of these packages are very small) You can read the script here: <a href="http://inx.maincontent.net/cdmp" target="_blank">http://inx.maincontent.net/cdmp</a> but the easiest way is to run the following commands in order: sudo apt-get install cdtool setcd abcde wget <a href="http://inx.maincontent.net/cdmp" target="_blank">http://inx.maincontent.net/cdmp</a> chmod +x cdmp (load your CD then..) ./cdmp Alternatively, copy the script to /usr/local/bin so you can call it using just "cdmp" It looks like this: <a href="http://inx.maincontent.net/Screenshot-1.png" target="_blank">http://inx.maincontent.net/Screenshot-1.png</a> <a href="http://inx.maincontent.net/Screenshot.png" target="_blank">http://inx.maincontent.net/Screenshot.png</a> Hope you and/or some other list members enjoy it :) I hope to add in options to make better use of abcde in future. -- Peter Garrett <<a href="mailto:peter.garrett@optusnet.com.au">peter.garrett@optusnet.com.au</a>> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> So does this all mean that at the moment there's a fault in ubuntu and/or related programs such that you can not play a cd with wmv files using mplayer, real player etc? So for the moment anyway we need to run these scripts? Gary
