Winamp - CD Drive Not Visible

[Ian J.]

Hi,

I am in the process of getting Linux Mint 17.2 set up on my laptop as an eventual replacement for Windows 7, and I've successfully installed Wine in order to run some Windows programs that I like.

However, I've run up against an issue. I like Winamp, particularly for ripping CDs. I have the paid-for Pro version, which allows me to do MP3 rips with the LAME encoder. I like the settings I have and the file sizes produced. On Wine though, the CD drive won't show up in Winamp. I've had to do a bit of fiddling with settings, and I managed to get it to show in EAC purely as a test for whether I could get the drive to show up in a program in Wine. But though it shows up in EAC, it still doesn't show up in Winamp.

Has anyone else here managed to get their CD drive to show up in Winamp so that CDs can be ripped? If so, can you let me know how you got it to be visible?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Could be related to https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12359. Try starting Winamp with a data cd mounted, then switch to an audio cd.

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I read about that as a possible solution while trying to get things up and running but also found a more suitable fix, which works OK in EAC as the drive is visible and identified too. I have however just gone and tried the data CD trick, but it made no difference to Winamp. The CD drive simply isn't in the Media Library list of locations, whether a disc of any kind is inserted or not.

You didn't mention what Wine version you're using. If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

Does the free version of Winamp have the same problem on your system?

[Ian J.]

I will have to check the Wine version, but it will be the one that is available via the updater in Linux Mint 17.2. I doubt that it's a development version. I'd prefer not to change it to a development version unless I know there is a fix in it for Winamp that will guarantee the CD drive will appear.

I don't have the free version of Winamp, but I seriously doubt that would be any better than the Pro version.

[Ian J.]

I've just checked, and the Wine version is 1.6.2.

Winamp is 5.666, which was the last version that was released, both for the free and Pro versions as far as I can remember.

[dimesio]

I tested the free version of Winamp 5.666, and it has no problem recognizing and playing an audio cd in 1.7.51.

[Ian J.]

OK, I will see if I can get the latest development version on Wine onto my Linux Mint partition and check it out.

Thanks.

[Ian J.]

OK. I've uninstalled the old Wine (after uninstalling all the apps I had in it beforehand), then installed the latest Wine, added the Pro version of Winamp, but that didn't show the drive. So I uninstalled that and downloaded and installed the free lite version, and that doesn't have a media library so I can't check that. But I put in an audio CD anyway and it still didn't see it to play it.

[dimesio]

Post terminal output from starting Winamp with an audio cd in the drive.

[Ian J.]

OK, I tried that but nothing showed up in the terminal window.

I've just checked and my Wine version is 1.7.50. That seems to be the latest version available via the ubuntu package system. I'm not at all sure how I could get 1.7.51 onto my system.

[dimesio]

Even with it working, I have messages in the terminal. What is the exact command you used to start it?

[Ian J.]

I either double-click the desktop icon or click the Wine->Winamp menu item.

[Ian J.]

OK, I've started Winamp from a terminal, this is the output:

I don't get the above in my terminal output, but I don't know why you're getting it.

[Ian J.]

Those lines appear to be related to file type associations for Winamp to run.

[dimesio]

The rest of your console output looks the same as mine.

I did think of one thing: is your user in the cdrom group? If not, try adding it.

[Ian J.]

I've just checked and my user is already part of the 'cdrom' group.

But that's made me think about my CD drive setup within Wine. I've had to create an fstab entry for a folder (called '/audiocd') for it in order for it to show up within Wine Configuration. Can you let me know how you've got your CD drive set up? I'm wondering if I done it correctly.

[dimesio]

The optical drive is set up with whatever udev rules are the default on openSUSE; I didn't do anything. There is no entry for it in /etc/fstab. I also didn't set up anything in winecfg. Winamp just automatically detected when there was a cd in the drive.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about udev rules to help you with that.

[Ian J.]

OK, thanks for trying to help. It looks like I've reached a dead end for now.

[Ian J.]

Something I have noticed is that when I manually setup the Wine drive letter for the CD drive, I can see the audio cd label and serial values in the drive but can't see the device value. But when I use the autodetect option, the audio cd label value isn't there, serial value is 0, but the device value is /dev/sr0

[dimesio]

On my system winecfg autodetect doesn't detect my optical drive at all with an audio cd in it; it only detects it when there is a mounted data cd or dvd in it.
