I am using Xine to play my CD's and I am very pleased. I used yum to install
xine and xine-skins. It has no hiss plays lots-o-formats (i.e. cd, vcd, dvd,
etc) and ejects th cd when I want every time.
I think you may need to install mplayer to get it to work properly (I could be
wrong on this point). Here' what I did to install mplayer (thanks to others
on the list):
First, as root run this command:
rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt
next, as root edit /etc/yum.repos/d/freshrpms.repo
and add the following:
# repo for Freshrpms
[freshrpms]
name=FreshRPMs
mirrorlist=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/mirrors-freshrpms
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
Then, as root run:
yum install mplayer
I did this then I ran :
yum install xine
and I then ran:
yum install xine-skins
Hope this helps...
