Use different mount directories (such as /mnt/keychain) and check which SCSI
device is being assigned to the USB storage device.
To see if your USB storage device can be seen by Linux, check the /var/log/dmesg file or run
the usbview command. Either will tell you if the device is being detected properly by Linux.
Summary
Getting up and running with digital media can take some doing, but once it??™s set up, you can play
most audio and video content available today. This chapter takes you through the steps of setting
up and troubleshooting your sound card and explains how to find software to play music through
that card.
Every desktop Linux distribution comes with one or more ways of playing music from files or CDs.
Popular music players include XMMS and Rhythmbox. Tools for ripping and recording CDs include
Grip and command-line utilities such as cdda2wav and cdrecord.
The chapter also covers playing live video from TV cards and Webcams in the sections on tvtime
and Ekiga, respectively. Finally, the chapter describes how the xine player can be used to play a
variety of video formats and explored the gtkam window for downloading images from a digital
camera. If your computer has a CD burner, use the descriptions in this chapter to create your own
music CDs and CD labels.
