Hi,

I have all the needed hardware/software for my N810 so that I can use a usb cd drive, and I can see the contents of a data cd when it is all set up, however I am struggling to be able to read audio cd's.

Has anyone managed to play an audio cd on their tablet, and if so, how?

That's going to be one of the rarest use-cases around. Rip your audio CD to mp3 or, if you're an audiophile, flac, and play those instead.

Like mount Everest: because its there to be done. It should be possible, it just needs someone to go do it!

Data Cd's are recognized OK, but none of the media players can be coerced into reading an audio Cd - I suppose because they don't expect to find a Cd

Best reason to do just about anything.

Right, the mount everest thing applies, but the analogy is a little lopsided. To translate the analogy to this scenario you should change it to: "I want *you* to climb mount everest because it's there." How about I meet you halfway and give you some advice on your ascent instead of climbing it for you: Try xmms. I think it has an audio cd plugin. If it isn't built for maemo you might have to build it yourself (or use easy-debian and chroot into it).

Hey, Johnx, good call!

You can find xmms (and the cdread plugin) by searching gronmayer for xmms.

You can get or make a male<->male 3.5mm audio cable and plug a cd diskman into the mic jack of the nit. It's not usb, but it's there. It's like riding an alpaca up Mt. Everest instead of walking.

Personally I like making my own cables because it's cheaper, and much more fun.

Thanks Johnx for your advise, but I think there is nothing wrong with the analogy. I most certainly do not want you or anyone else to climb the mountain for me, I was simply looking for advise as to how it could be best done. I am sure most of the worlds best mountain climbers have accepted advise from others on how to best achieve their goal.

I shall now go away and play with xmms

And for the benefit of other climbers like myself, I shall report back.

how would you hear the audio signal? wouldn't you have to record it first with either maemo recorder or seqretary recorder, at very low bitrates?
