[vox-tech] Problem with xmms playing CDs

[Richard J. Mancusi]

I agree with "select Play Location", but I have never had any luck using
/dev/cdrom.  It is probably something I am doing wrong - but perhaps you
are doing like wise.  Anyway, in "Play Location" I use /mnt/cdrom and it
works perfectly.  If it isn't in the list - type it in - it will be there
the next time.

good luck
Rich
