Re: Multimedia players - odd observations



It does.

However, 2.14 shipped with a wrong gconf schema causing the default volume to be 0, thus not resulting in sound (even though it uses cdda). Simply whipping the volume up fixes that. 2.16 fixed the gconf schema, so any newer version should just work.

Gnome-CD on 2.18 seems to still not use extraction for playback (totem however should, as i'm
sure it's using gstcdparanoia for the playback).

The problem *may* be that the other players do CDDA (note not CDDB)
but I don't think gnome-cd 2.8 did that, and so it requires a cable
inside your computer to link it to the CD Audio connector on your
motherboard. 2.8 is rather old and I believe more recent versions
don't have that problem, but I've not used it for a very long time...
