Thank you for all your support. I have now got the CD player working but it doesn't automatically start. The CD doesn't autorun. Any suggestions ? Paul
Check out the selections on this gui: Redhat -> Preferences -> CD Properties
Now there is one thing that I should add - it's always been annoying to me when I have the autorun/autoplay features turned on when I intend to rip and encode my CDs with Grip to my local hard drive. The problem I ran into was if I *closed" the CD player while it was running before *stopping* the CD from playing, then the CD would continue playing and I lost my GUI. I'd have to log out and log back in to get control of the thing again.
So I typically have the "autoplay on insert" turned off.
Hope this helps, Clint
