The older I get, > 603-884-0501 Nashua, NH USA 03062 the better I was. I am using Xine to play my CD's and I am very pleased. I used yum to install xine and xine-skins. It has no hiss plays lots-o-formats (i.e. cd, vcd, dvd, etc) and ejects th cd when I want every time. I think you may need to install mplayer to get it to work properly (I could be wrong on this point). Here' what I did to install mplayer (thanks to others on the list): First, as root run this command: rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt next, as root edit /etc/yum.repos/d/freshrpms.repo and add the following: # repo for Freshrpms [freshrpms] name=FreshRPMs mirrorlist=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/mirrors-freshrpms enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 Then, as root run: yum install mplayer I did this then I ran : yum install xine and I then ran: yum install xine-skins Hope this helps...
