Auto-playing audio CDs in Xubuntu

This took hours!

I tried installing Rhythmbox because Parole is not intended for playing Audio CDs, but found that does not work either. This is the solution:

Turn on Autoplay:

  • Settings, Settings Manager.
  • File Manager, then select the Advanced tab.
  • Under "Volume Management", click on "Configure".
  • This gives you "Removable Drives and Media". Select the "Multimedia" tab.
  • For Audio CDs, turn on "Play audio CDs when inserted".
  • The application is set to "exaile" - which is not installed by default!

Except it still doesn't autoplay, but it does fire up Exaile.

I finally got the clue from this related problem: http://www.sirspanky.com/informative/turning-off-autoplay-in-xubuntu/

The conclusion of the exaile IRC support channel and the Xubuntu IRC support channel is that it is a bug in Xubuntu that it defaults to a player that is not installed, and the one provided does not work.
