Description Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle 2006-02-20 04:43:25 UTC 
I'd like to be able to use Rhythmbox as my defaut CD player; in Desktop >
Preferences > Removable Drives and Media I could choose it to play my discs when
they are inserted, *if I could do that through command line*. I couldn't find
any reference to this feature; if it is possible, or if there is a better way,
then I'm sorry.

In ubuntu (alpha), the default audio  CD player is Sound-Juicer, which doesn't make sense to me. The issue has been discussed by the Ubuntu Desktop team, and Rhythmbox has been rejected as default CD player partly because of the lack of command line interface to play CDs (or select the CD "folder" and display tracks without playing).

see rejection of https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome2/+bug/38441

I'm changing this from "programmatic interfaces" to "removable media" to see if we get some atention.

I doubt it would be hard to add this feature to the command line options, and it would help a lot.
Comment 3 Jonathan Matthew 2006-08-28 09:24:24 UTC 
Please don't do that.  Adding a comment after a period of activity is fine, but changing components is not appropriate, and it doesn't make any difference to how we react to the bug anyway.

This isn't quite as easy as it looks.  To reliably play an audio CD immediately after it was inserted, we'd need to wait until the audio CD source has finished reading the tracks off the CD.  We currently don't have a way to do that.

(In reply to comment #3)

Sorry, won't do that again.

I'm not asking RB to play the CD immediately; a delay in the order of seconds is fine. What I'm asking for is some command line parameter that allows the user to ask RB to start and then playing the CD which is already in the drive, instead of just starting and waiting for user input on what should be reproduced. In other words, I'd like RB to replace gnome-media for CD reproduction, letting me configure GNOME to play the CD autommaticaly when it is introduced in the drive.

I'd like too that Rhythmbox be the default audio player, but I don't know how to develop, then the only thing what I can do is wait, because we never know the difficult of the developers.

Sorry for my poor english.

I believe I've already fixed that in bug #471887. Please reopen if not.
