digital audio from CD

Einherjar

Hi people,

can someone tell me if there is any way of playing audio without audio
connection from CD to sound card?
Of course winblows do this...

There isn't really anything in the base system, although I guess you
might be able to cobble something by using the track devices
(/dev/ad0t<nn>) to cat(1) the audio data to the audio device.

Many of the programs in the "audio" ports category can handle it.
Some may need to be configured appropriately.
I use xmms, which does, and I may have done it with sox from the
command line...

Well, of course you can use cdparanoia to rip the whole cd to .wav files..

With a fast system and a shell script, you should be able to get about what
you want.

Of course - ripping is the usual way, but I just wandered, because
sometimes I just have to show a track to a friend or something and it
would be easier than actually ripping it..

@Lowell: didn't actually try xmms, but KsCD doesn't do it

At least xmms does it, with a special plugin
/usr/ports/audio/xmms-cdread

I know this works because my laptop had the problem and i solved it this
way. Now, recent versions of amarok also work.

Installing sox and using play -t cdda /dev/ad0t<nn> should work.
