Playing CDs under FreeBSD is easy. You need the cdcontrol command, which is included in the base install. Just point MUSIC_CD to your cdrom (with a command like 'export MUSIC_CD=acd0' or 'setenv MUSIC_CD acd0' and run cdcontrol. Once cdcontrol is started, just type "play". Of course if you want to do things like control the volume, you will probably want to recompile your kernel with sound support, as outlined in the handbook. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
