Sadly, Amarok is now even worse.  At least before I could persuade it to play 
something and even it sometimes didn't crash, now it won't play a CD at 
all.  :-(

I am a long time fan of Amarok, but I have clearly got to go on a CD player 
hunt.  :-(  (This is for someone else, not me.  I myself use KDE 3.5.10 on 
Lenny with Amarok 1.4.10, and I have obviously got to hang onto them for as 
long as possible.)

Perhaps Rythmbox, which I think is the default in Ubuntu Karmic?
