This chapter has been written to give you a look at the lighter side
of Red Hat Linux. From games and toys to audio and video applications, Red Hat
provides many packages to help keep the kid in you alive.
You should be able to put a music CD in your CD-ROM and see the CD player
start automatically. If not, in GNOME, go to =>
=> =>
to open
the CD player. In KDE, go to =>
=> .
The CD player interface acts like a standard CD player, with play,
pause, and stop functions. A volume control slider is located at the
bottom of the interface. You can also edit the track listings for your
CDs and change the way the utility functions by clicking on the Open
Track Editor and Preferences buttons and
making your selections.
Set your preferences to use CDDB to have the CD title located in an
extensive online database and its song titles listed in the GUI (if the CD
title and songs do not appear in the GUI, the CD is not in the database). The
first time you play a CD, you will need to be online for this feature to
work; the information will be stored and displayed in the future whether
you are online or not.
