When you've got the playlist window open, you press the "+" button and select "Add CD" (or just hit Shift+C).
If that doesn't work, you might want to look in the preferences, under Plugins-->cdaudio-->prefences (or is it "settings"?) and see that it's all ok.

I tried that. What I ended up doing was uninstalling and reinstalling BMP. After that it worked. I don't know why, but I won't complain either. Smile

Ok for xmms to launch audio cd its 'xmms -p /dev/cdrom'

is there nothing similar for beep player (thought it was based on the same code.)
Peeing about via the playlist is naff/embarrassing

mikeb - at least save some typing and symlink it to /usr/local/bin/bmp

But I love that hugely descriptive name........

and I moved it to /usr/bin and symlinked it to xmms just to be a tart.

And having sussed the mnt/dev boogie I could drop the -e

and could probably change /mnt/hdc to /dev/hdc in the preferences for sensibility as nothing is actually mounted.

looks good with those winamp skins and no more oss conflicts...I am truly happy... Smile

Is this better or the same as audacious player?

They all look the same to me.

It later became Audacious, after the original developers started working on BMP-X instead.

In setting up my Fatdog 64 bit system I found Audacious simply too much when all I really wanted was XMMS and to play playlists of MP3s.
So when no GTK1 is available Beep Media Player was the right thing.
Thanks to this thread I found it.

I built it in Fatdog 510 but it seems stable enough on newer Fatdogs.
