Yes, that's what gave me the idea - my boys tested the CD by playing it with VLC. >I had thought there >was a CD-Player application for OS/2 that was able to get album data >from an online database, but I cannot remember what it is - it's been so >long since I've used audio-CD media, other than to rip the tracks to MP3 >tracks for my iPOD. FreeDB came with eCS 2.0RC4 (I think) but I haven't had call to try it, until now.

Found it at OS2Site as well. After 5 minutes of fiddling with the settings and checking the help, Beta 6 works fine! Playing one of my Christmas gifts in the background as I type. I must confess to being an old-fashioned person - I use equipment for one job at a time: make phone calls on a mobile phone, play CDs on a CD player, view videos on a VCR. I am only slowly moving into the 21st century by playing CDs and videos on my computer :-) Best regards John Angelico OS/2 SIG os2 at melbpc dot org dot au or talldad at kepl dot com dot au ___________________ -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG
