I have recently installed LXDE and cant seem to play audio Cd's.The discs are not being recognized in music player/Rhythm box and I have no auto detect which I would expect to see.
If I click 'import files'tab then click on cdrom icon I receive this message 'Mount:I could not determine the filesystem type,and none was detected'.
Tried configuring Cd/Dvd in control centre but perhaps I'm missing something?
Any help would be appreciated please.

Do you have "pmount" and "hal" packages installed?

Just checked and did have hal but not pmount installed so have now added it but still doesn't seem to make a difference.
I found that by going to usr/share/applications then clicking on 'removable drives and media'.Under the multimedia tab I see what I'm possibly looking for but the command lines are missing from both the'audio cd's' and video cd's/dvd's boxes and I don't know what to enter in them?
Thanks for your help.
Re: Cdrom drive not recognised
Hi
pmount is used for mounting storage as a normal user, but not by PCManFM, afaik. Check if you are in the group "optical". To do so, type in "id" in a console. If not, add your user to the group "optical" and remember to relogin to confirm the groupchanges.

Sorry i don't quite understand what is meant by the term "optical".
If I type "id" into a terminal i get this.
uid=500(********) gid=500(********) groups=500(********) My user name blanked out********
Is it what I'm meant to be seeing?
Thanks
Re: Cdrom drive not recognised
"id" gives you the groups, your're in. for me it looks like that: "uid=xxxx(maces) gid=100(users) Gruppen=5(tty),50(games),90(network),91(video),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),96(scanner),98(power),100(users),104(bluetooth)". Because I'm in the group "optical" (the name of the group) I'm allowed to use the cdrom drive.
But it's distro related, afaik. Which distro are you using? (I'm using Archlinux)

What i cant seem to understand is,when I place a video disc in the cd drive then it's recognized in PCMan FM but it wont recognize any audio cd???
Re: Cdrom drive not recognised
LXDE is the Desktop Environment, not the Distribution (aka distri)!
Wired, what does happen, when you try it with simple cd's, storing files?

How confusing all this is becoming
Re: Cdrom drive not recognised
That's easy, type in "uname -a" in a Terminal and post the output. For me its:
You see: "2.6.31-ARCH". It's a not really up2date version of Archlinux.
