In that case, your computer probably doesn't have a sound cable between your sound card and the CD drive. Install xmms, and from the menu, choose Options -> Preferences. Look under Audio I/O Plugins and Input plugins for CD Audio Player, and choose Configure. Then choose Digital audio extraction. See if that helps. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | Remember, half-measures can be very effective if @westexe.demon.co.uk | all you deal with are half-wits.
