Until recently, I've been using kscd as my CD player in the KDE desktop environment. Some time ago, however, kscd caught a bug. After a few minutes' worth of playing a newly inserted CD, the CD stops and resets to track 1. If I press Play again, it will now play the CD flawlessly, from start to end. However, if I eject it and insert a new CD, the bug reappears.
This has been driving me nuts.
After some unsuccessful Googling, where I did find others sharing the same problem with me but no solution, I listened to a friend's advise and switched to Amarok, a media player that handles MP3s, fetches lyrics, builds playlists and helps me compile them in a MySQL database, among other things. Amarok is really nice.
But the kscd bug bothers me, and I want it solved. If anyone out there reads this and knows what happens, and why, please leave a note.
