Ilya, When you play a CD via cdcontrol the audio decoding is made by the CD drive, which is connected to a corresponding input of the audio mixer on the computer main board. When you use mplayer/xine/xmms, however, the program must extract the digital data and make the conversion, before sending it to the audio device. Your problem is probably that your computer has not enough processing power to perform the conversion. What does "top" show when you try to play the CD? One possible alternative, if you want a GUI player, is using a program like XMCD or xcdplayer. -- cd /usr/ports/sysutils/life make clean
