I can rip them using asunder. hi colleen, that is not how it works, those are two very different methods of playing audio. if the cable between the cdrom and the soundcard is connected, you can play CDs directly from the drive with minimum software interaction or "tell the cdrom to play the cd on the soundcard". that has nothing to do with playing ogg from HD, the data takes a totally different path. i do not know if kscd does that, but as joost pointed out that would be a good explanation why you can play CDs in kaffeine but not in kscd. check for the cable. /jonas > > Regards, > > Colleen > > >
