When you've got the playlist window open, you press the "+" button and select "Add CD" (or just hit Shift+C).
If that doesn't work, you might want to look in the preferences, under Plugins-->cdaudio-->prefences (or is it "settings"?) and see that it's all ok.

I tried that. What I ended up doing was uninstalling and reinstalling BMP. After that it worked. I don't know why, but I won't complain either. :-)

Ok for xmms to launch audio cd its 'xmms -p /dev/cdrom'

is there nothing similar for beep player (thought it was based on the same code.)
Peeing about via the playlist is naff/embarrassing

mikeb - at least save some typing and symlink it to /usr/local/bin/bmp

But I love that hugely descriptive name........

and I moved it to /usr/bin and symlinked it to xmms just to be a tart.

And having sussed the mnt/dev boogie I could drop the -e

and could probably change /mnt/hdc to /dev/hdc in the preferences for sensibility as nothing is actually mounted.

looks good with those winamp skins and no more oss conflicts...I am truly happy... :)

Is this better or the same as audacious player?

They all look the same to me.

It later became Audacious, after the original developers started working on BMP-X instead.

In setting up my Fatdog 64 bit system I found Audacious simply too much when all I really wanted was XMMS and to play playlists of MP3s.
So when no GTK1 is available Beep Media Player was the right thing.
Thanks to this thread I found it.

I built it in Fatdog 510 but it seems stable enough on newer Fatdogs.
