MP3s on CD in myth

Is it possible to play MP3 files on CD in any myth module (probably
mythmusic)?
I was trying to to map CDROM into /mnt/store/music directory, but it
don't work.
MythMusic just displays message "Checking: mp3filename" on console, but
didn't
display it in list. Is it possible to play these MP3s?

Re: MP3s on CD in myth [In reply to]

You have several option:

(1) contribute code to mythmusic to make it work with MP3 CDs
(2) make a soft link from your music directory to the directory where
your CD gets mounted. Then when mythmusic runs it will add any files it
finds there. Of course this presents a problem as they are added to the
database, even after you remove the CD...
(3) If you're using the CVS version, try mythvideo. In spite of its
name, it's really a kind of generic file explorer for Myth that allows
you to specify handlers for any file type.

Of course, for (2) or (3) to be really useful, you'll need to have some
kind of mechanism for auto mounting/unmounting your CD. I know there
are things out there; Gnome or KDE might suffice, and there are other
desktop-independent method that I can't recall right now.

Good luck!
