However, because I mainly use amarok, I play CDs there as well. Kafeine is also a good choice and both amarok and kaffeine are KDE applications and can be set as default CD player etc... You said you had troubles with amarok, and I suggest you deal with those as a higher priority, because I find that player the best one around... -- Blade hails you...
