Hi, | Have you tried to determine that the problem is in kscd and not in | the drive itself? Faulty optics or head drive could cause playback | issues like these (especially when the problem is bound to specific | time of disc playback, which means specific position of the | head). Try playing the CD with kaffeine, for example. Oh, yes. I also use xmcd, which has never stopped playing any CD. Even right after the CD is freshly inserted, or after an eject-insert cycle. I've been with this problem since I switched to KDE (a year or two ago). Insert a CD; Kscd automatically pops up, plays the CD, and stops after several minutes; Kill Kscd, invoke xmcd, and be happy. That has been my life, ever :-) By the way, please don't say I should stick to xmcd, then. kscd is well integrated in KDE, while xmcd looks alien on my screen. Thanks for the response, anyway, Ryo ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list. Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
