You can run gnome-cd or from your Fedora Menu go to "Sound & Video" -> "CD Player" and you will be able to play the audio CD. > PS-I am getting the same error when I try to view a DVD. You wil need to play a DVD through an application as well. You can use MPlayer, Xine or Totem to play that DVD. I use MPlayer for all video files and Xine to play DVDs since Xine supports DVD menus.
