Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux here is data from my Debian sid, kernel 2.4: ------------------------------------------------------------- val030:/proc/sys/dev/cdrom# cat info CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.12 2000/10/18 drive name: sr0 hdb drive speed: 52 24 drive # of slots: 1 1 Can close tray: 1 1 Can open tray: 1 1 Can lock tray: 1 1 Can change speed: 1 1 Can select disk: 0 0 Can read multisession: 1 1 Can read MCN: 1 1 Reports media changed: 1 1 Can play audio: 1 1 Can write CD-R: 1 0 Can write CD-RW: 1 0 Can read DVD: 0 0 Can write DVD-R: 0 0 Can write DVD-RAM: 0 0 ---------------------------------------------------- And my feature wish is that kscd should autodetect the possible cdrom-players. There is even "Can play audio" flag which kscd could use. Kscd could have a list of cd players instead of just one device. UI should then of course have many slots or something, just like some cd players can have multiple disks. Also kscd could automatically detect if the user has read privileges and show it in UI. I made an configuration UI example with qt-designer which I will add as a png. (The "Use" column should be replaced with checkboxes.) I don't know if other OS's than Linux have similar capabilities for autodetecting cdrom devices.

That is a good idea. However, not everyone (even Linux users) have the proc filesystem.
Ok. I has some idees about of ASPI on top of libscg, so let work me.
CVS commit by qbast: "Play" servicemenu for media/audiocd. Support for media:/ URLs. It is possible to selecd CD from drop-down list (discovered by mediamanger) in config dialog. Possibility to specify cd-device on command line. Approved by Aaron Seigo. CCBUG: 56817 A audiocd_play.desktop 1.1 M +4 -1 Makefile.am 1.71 M +38 -0 configWidget.cpp 1.16 M +2 -0 configWidget.h 1.9 M +1 -1 configWidgetUI.ui 1.23 M +54 -5 kscd.cpp 1.285 M +2 -1 kscd.h 1.112
Are these changes implemented now? I have two CD devices and it's impossible to use KsCD because if I insert an audio CD in device hdc I can press "Play" and play KsCD, but if I close it and insert the CD in the other device hdd and press "Play" in the appearing icon KsCD appers, but it fails because try to use hdc device instead of the new one. And if I want to use digital extraction of the audio KsCD simply doesn't work with ALSA, and I must write /dev/hdc manually it to work sometimes.
kscd is no longer maintained, please switch to an alternative application.
