Editing, Managing, and Playing Audio in Kubuntu

This document is about the various audio features that Kubuntu offers.


Playing CDs

Amarok is the default application for playing audio CDs in Kubuntu. When a CD is inserted, Kubuntu will recognize it and display default options. To hear the content with Amarok, select Play Audio CD with Amarok and then press the OK button. Kubuntu can be configured to remember this choice every time a CD is inserted by selecting Always do this for this type of media, and pressing OK. Amarok also offers other useful features. If connected to the Internet, Amarok will retrieve CD artist, title, and track data from freedb.org. It will also download the lyrics for the current selection — if they are available — by choosing the Lyrics tab. Other artist information can be found on Wikipedia by selecting the Artist tab.
