The following settings are available from the Removable Drives and Media Preferences window on
the Multimedia tab:
 Audio CD??”When an audio CD is inserted, the Totem player opens and starts playing
the music found on the disk. You can change to a different audio player by changing the
command, or you can clear the ???Play audio CD discs when inserted??? check box to not
have audio play automatically. Some people prefer to use GNOME-CD as their CD player.
 Video DVD Discs??”The Totem player is started, by default, when you insert a commercial
video DVD disk into the DVD drive.
The Totem movie player will not play movie DVDs unless you add extra software to
decrypt the DVD. There are legal issues and other movie player options you should look
into if you want to play commercial DVD movies from Linux. See Chapter 20 for more information
about video players in Linux.
 Portable Music Players??”A music player is started in Linux to play files from your
portable iPod or other music player, if this is selected and you enter a player to use. The
banshee project (http://banshee-project.org) includes software for playing music
from iPods in Linux. (From Fedora, type yum install banshee to install the software
from Fedora Extras. Then add ipod %d to this field to use the player.
