F18 defect in playing CDs.

[Aaron Konstam]

Previously in earlier versions of Fedora under GNOME when you put in a
CD it played the CD with whatever program you indicated should be used
automatically. Now that I have installed F18 on a second machine I found
the same behavior as on the first machine. The CD is not played
automatically but has to be played manually.

Why is this or what am I doing wrong?

Regarding the title of this thread, Fedora is something totally
different than what GNOME is.

This is how an audio disc works from within Xfce. :)

Can you try it with a different desktop (e.g. KDE or Xfce) to see if
it's a UI problem or a real problem lower down? There's lots of things
that won't work in Gnome3 with adding a ton of "add-ins" (absolutely
silly IMHO).

Rhythmbox.. I also don't see that should make a difference.

Just for the record, I tried this with a F19 install and an Audio CD,
but inspite of above setting claiming "Ask what to do", nothing
happened when I inserted the CD. GNOME did not ask me.

What music player do you use?  It might make a difference, although I 
don't see how.

I did that and it does not work for me on either of my F18 machines. On
previous Fedora versions it works so something is wrong. I guess I have
have to keep searching for an answer.

I don't use Gnome.  However, under Xfce, there's a Control Panel under 
Settings, named "Removable Drives and Media" that controls this. 
There's probably a similar one for Gnome if you check around a little. 
HTH, HAND.
