I can read the CD, so the codecs are installed.
What I explained is that the way to get the CD playing is far, very far,
from as obvious as if you were using a Mac or Windows.
User friendlyness is N-I-L.
What you're missing is that the codecs are required for the player to
load and play the media. The codecs are not required to read the
contents of the CD.
A wonderful 3rd party repo is
rpmfusion.org. They provide many
wonderful tools and options to make your desktop linux experience much
more enjoyable...
