Which Phonon backend do you use? it works flawlessly here with the phonon-backend-vlc

I understand The "Problem". I've Two CDRom Device (PATA) and Only The device that is linked as /dev/cdrom Play correctly. Infact i've changed the link in udev and only the Other device Play. I've also Test this with GStreamer and Vlc phonon backend and Works fine.

Many Thanks.

Gstreamer.

I'll install phonon-backend-vlc and check it out.

Installed and set it as the preferred backend. Rebooted. No system sounds. But Speaker Placement and Testing Front Left and Front Right produced 'Front left' and 'Front right' voice, so that much works. But no system sounds at all.

Application and System Notifications > Manage Notifications > Event source: KDE Workspace and testing the sounds on any of the events produced nothing. Nada.

Switched back to Gstreamer and rebooted. System sounds all work.

At This point the Issue maybe on "How Phonon Backends or System manage the Cd Devices". Take a Look at /dev/cdrom symlink.

Another thing to test in this case is - does the audiocd:/ kioslave work?
It depends upon /dev/cdrom I believe being used.

If the audiocd:/ KIO slave works, then Amarok should work.

This still seems to be a very promiment problem with KDE, Amarok and kioslaves. Amarok's got a great UI for personalising the file and directory structure, which would be perfect for ripping audio CDs, but unfortunately it just doesn't seem to work.

I bought a couple CDs on holiday, tried ripping them on my laptop (running Kubuntu 12.10 i386) in the airport waiting lounge so I could put them on my mp3 player, but the mp3 rip just didn't start, after specifying the file and folder naming strategy and clicking OK. I tried a couple times, and it just didn't start the rip.. So I opened up VLC and its "Open Disc.." menu, which gives the option of choosing the name of the cd drive. In this instance it should have been /dev/sr0, but it had defaulted to /dev/cdrom. Unfortunately I didn't manage to rip anything before having to board the plane..

Back on my desktop at home now, using Amarok / KDE on Arch Linux x86_64, the Audio CD doesn't even show up in Amarok's Local Collection. The Audio CD plugin is enabled, Dolphin can browse the CD, creating pseudo-folders for loads of different formats (e.g. FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, etc.); I've ripped the CDs now by copying and pasting the MP3 files into a folder I created manually, using Dolphin.

I thought maybe I was missing a plugin. But on both machines? Having read through this forum post, I'm stunned to see it has been such a long-standing issue. Is there an open bug report for this?

On the desktop at least, it looks to me like a kioslave issue, judging by the last line of this message in ~/.xsession-errors:-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using the phonon-vlc backend atm.

I didn't use the taskbar's Device Notifier widget, but when I expand its menu, it does present me with a clickable icon, with a tooltip saying "Click to mount this device". Dolphin usually shows the same icon in the side pane, next to USB thumb drives and removable HDD's, but it doesn't with a CD in the drive, quite rightly so! I would argue that neither should the Device notifier widget. It presents 4 available actions to me, all either "Open with ..." or "Play with ...". An obvious option would be to "Rip this CD with Amarok".

In System Settings -> Device Actions, I can see all the "Open with..." options that pop up in the Device notifier widget, when an "Optical Disc" is inserted. There isn't any action for ripping an Audio CD with any audio player, but there really should be! I could probably "Add..." an appropriate device action, but this functionality has been on PCs for decades now, and I really don't think a casual user should have to do this themselves.

In System Settings -> Removable Devices, automatic mounting of removable media is not enabled (not that I've ever touched this, as it should have sensible defaults), but if I tick that checkbox, it seems to show every drive I've ever attached to my machine in "Disconnected Devices". There is no way to clear that history... In Attached devices, I don't see an Audio CD, when I currently have one inserted which Dolphin picks up on. In Disconnected Devices, there is only one listing with an icon that looks like a CD; it has a description of just "UDF volume". On this desktop, I have two CD drives: a Blu-Ray reader and a DVD rewriter, so it is impossible to tell which device the "UDF volume" pertains to. It would be useful here if there was an option to display the "Device Path" in a separate column.

Any advice on how to get Amarok working well with CDs? I've been meaning to rip my old collection of over 150 CDs for ages now. Amarok's UI could be perfect for this, but frankly I don't have the time or inclination to do it manually with Dolphin, when other music players have been able to automatically rip a CD into your collection as soon as it's inserted into the drive. Again, this functionality is decades old and is expected of any half decent PC audio player. I'm astonished it isn't a completely polished feature yet.

Didn't read the complete thing, far too long, sorry.
Which exact Phonon backend-vlc version are you using? This is broken in 0.6.0, fixed in 0.6.2. Please do not bash a thing before you really know what it is about.

Also you didn't specify two other very important informations: which exact KDE version and Amarok version are you talking about? Everything else doesn't make much sense without that crucial information

Contrary to what claimed in the 2.7 release notes, some users continue to encounter issues with Audio CD playback, whatever the back-end used
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314544

Well, as the bug clearly describes: it is not an Amarok bug, but a Solid one, not much we can do about that without the help of the solid developers, and they have a hard time reproducing it.

Also that bug is totally different from the one that was causing problems prior to the 2.7 release.

hi

i use last version and dont play audio CDs

i read topic and do all of them...but i dont play

explain step step pls thanks...

Define: latest version? We need numbers Please be more specific by giving your system versions: for Amarok, KDE and Qt, ideally specifying your Linux distribution is also a very good idea. Amarok has a diagnostics tool in the Help menu, pasting the output of that is most helpful...

Mamarok wrote:Also, playing music CDs is so totally old-school, and you can archive a CD on a computer. Rip your CDs so you have the collection all in the same place instead of having to change CDs.
Most people don't even buy CDs anymore...

This is totally not true, even in 2015 Music / Department stores still stock and sell CD's.
Also, picture this, a friend (either in their 50's or 60's with little to no PC/LINUX experience) has attended a BBQ at your house, their taste in music is not the same as you and they want to play some songs from a CD they have in their car. So by your logic one wastes time "ripping" it to the DataBase only to delete it once the friend has left. This scenario is all to common here in Australia and your above workaround is not practical.
Though I prefer Amarok, I also have VLC as that has never broken on me even after a KDE kernel and "other-software" updates that constantly break Amarok, which is a pity.

*sigh*, this is totally irrelevant to the topic anyway, and you are responding to something that was solved long ago...
