(mplayer vcd:// ) while I copy the same CD in windows on the same machine it succeeds .Can unstoppable kind of software in linux would help me resolve this issue.Is there such a software?This is like a mystery .It happens everytime.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance. regards- kaushal.
