It'll be difficult to diagnose this without the error messages. Have you tried this with different CDs? One thing that is likely different between xmcd and cdplay (never used cdplay) is that xmcd uses the SCSI passthrough driver (pass(4)), while cdplay likely uses the cd(4) ioctl mechanism. Either should work okay, although I've found applications in the past (most recently xmms, I think it has been fixed) with buggy code to handle the cd(4) ioctl interface. What happens when you use cdcontrol to play the cd? Does that work? Do you get any error messages? Can you play the last track? Also, xmcd asks you to tell it what sort of drive you have, and it adjusts its behavior accordingly. It will also sometimes list functionality that is not available with a particular drive. Are you certain you configured xmcd for the right drive, and did it list any drive quirks when you configured it?
