Hi Bill
For powerpc you need to enable cdread (install it if necessary) in XMMS
preferences and play from file /dev/hdc. And you need to be in the audio
group. I know that macs are a bit funny in the way they play cd's so
cdread is probably unnecessary in i386. However, the other two steps
may help.
YMMV
