So, is there a trick to get Amarok to play a cd? The intuitive things don't
work.

Or should I junk it and just use XMMS.

Amarok does not play audio cds.

Stick with Xmms. If you're on 13.1 the new audacious is far better than
previous versions.

I found it in Audacious under "Plugin services/Play CD". Wasn't able to
locate it in XMMS, unfortunately. It looks like being able to play audio
CDs is becoming a part of legacy support. You end up thinking this way
when trying to play the CD "Presence" by Led Zep, and can't find an app in
KDE that'll do it.

No doubt due to the increasing ease of circumventing DRM protection.
I was surprised when I discovered I could record any sounds internally
with audacity and practically any soundcard, something I couldn't do under any
M$ software, at least not without two computers and a patch chord.
I've yet to discover how to do video DVDs. Of course, it's not like
I've been trying.

This whole thing gets more and more frustrating because, allegedly,
it's legal to record songs you already have a paid copy of. Did that change?
Easier to just get songs from the web. Stupid recording industry.
