Have only just started running AntiX and i really like the OS. But i have been trying to play my cd's and have failed at every attempt. I tried the default XMMS and couldn't make head nor tail of it, so i then tried VLC and SMPlayer with the same results zilch. Could someone recommend a media player that works straight out of the box please.

I have to put a space between / and etc because of a forum bug. So close that space in terminal when typing in the command.
Maybe your cdrom did not get listed in there. You should not have to change media players I would think.
Also in terminal. Do and post back on
sr0 is my dvdrw on this desktop

I am posting from AntiX 11 so mine may be different a little than yours.

I normally use xmms for my audio cds. what you do is right click on the xmms player, select play a directory, and then select your cdrom drive, typically in /media/cdrom or /media/sr0 (on my system, both links exist and work).
gnome-mplayer (also installed) will also play CD's, although sometimes i have issues with it.
I also use VLC. You may need to select your location of your drive in preferences, as the current vlc defaults sometimes default to a drive that doesn't exist (dvd1 vs. sr0 or cdrom or dvd) In VLC, use the"Open Disc" function, as VLC won't automatically"find" the cd.

vlc and smplayer are not included in antiX by default, so I agree with dolphin that you probably need to select your location of your drive in preferences
