[vox-tech] Problem with xmms playing CDs

[Dick Ely via JPS]

Thanks Doug:

I have & had tried your suggestion.  My cdrom is off /  , the root 
directory as /cdrom.   I have tried /cdrom  /cdrom/ cdrom , and selected 
the cdrom from the dropdown list that xmms generates.  Inside XMMS there is 
a button on the panel that says cdrom.   None have any effect at lighting 
the little blinker light on the CDROM, or letting the music play.

Thanks for help.
