How to play CDs using gnome-cd in Linux
Gnome-cd is an audio CD player application for the Gnome desktop environment. Like most graphical CD players, the gnome-cd player has controls that look similar to what you would see on a physical CD player. If you are using the GNOME desktop, from the Applications Menu select Sound & Video -> CD Player, or from a Terminal window, type:
$ gnome-cd
If your computer is connected to the Internet, for most CDs you will see the title and artist information. Even obscure artists are represented in the free online databases. If the information is not available, you can enter it yourself.
The interface for adding information about the CDs and its tracks is very nice. Click the Open Track Editor button. You can add Artist and Title information about the CD. Then you can select each track to type in the track name. To add the name of the artist and disc title, click in the appropriate text box and type in the information. The information you add is stored locally, so it will appear each time you open the same CD.
