What is happening with the multimidea on Fedora. This
person have had problem. I cannot even listen CDs by
using the CD drive. I allways need to ripe CDs first
in order to listen to my musics.
No one in this group was able to help me on that.
Should I go back to Windows to get my CD drive able to
play my CDs? Well, at least I can do that on Windows
You are from the USA, I suppose. Here in Europe we have so called copy
protection systems on CDs for quite a while and we call these systems
"play protection systems".
Quite a lot of players simply deny to play copy protected CDs:
- car radios
- DVD players
- computer CD-players
- computer DVD-players
Even shops take them back, when you say that a CD cannot be played on
these systems, because more and more people simply do not have old
CD-only players anymore.
So your (?) problem might be related to FC4 or even to Linux systems,
although I doubt it.
At the moment I have a CD running here under FC4 - without any problems.
But it is definitely a CD without copy protection system (I do not buy
those).
You might try a Windows system on your hardware, maybe it can handle the
problem. But if it is a problem between hardware and copy protection
systems, Windows might not be able to handle it as well.
