how to play an audio cd?

[slamp slamp]

is anyone successful in playing an audio cd? i insert an audio cd,
fedora 10 nicely asks what i want to do, i select open in rhythmbox
but it does nothing. i tried audacious but that does not play either.
sound juicer is able to play the audio cd but sound juicer is not an
audio player. ive replaced my xp desktop with fedora and loving it but
im surprised that something as simple as playing an audio cd is not
working for the 10th iteration of fedora. im a big fan of linux as a
whole and i can handle a bug like this but someone not as computer
literate as i am although im no expert would be turned away in an
instant.
