Thanks for your reply.
Just wanted a quick reply, to know what package played audio only
tracks. They are called tracks when I place them into the televisions
DVD player.
The version of Debian in this case might make a difference but I just
wanted the name of something that played them. I would adjust it to
suit my version of Debian Wheezy.
Naturally I would have checked that the CD/DVD player was working, and
in that case it doesn't matter if it can play CD's or DVD's I don't
think?
If I had been able to mount it, I would have known the extension the
tracks/files have. [Thanks Kelly for that info Kelly]
Doesn't matter, a program in windows XP called "Arcade" can read and
play them so I'm right. I would just have liked to listen to them while
booted into Linux, because my windows partition is only there for
emergencies such as this.
Thanks for your help. As always much appreciated.
Be well,
Charlie
