Can I connect an external USB CD Player to my Raspberry Pi, and play a CD with Moode Audio?

Thanks in advance

moOde does not support CD playback but I recall other users having installed the packages to do this. Try searching the Forum.

In the FAQ and Guides section I posted instructions on using abcde to automatically rip a CD when you insert it and add the resulting audio files to the mpd library. That works well for me, because I plan to gradually add all my CDs to my moode library and then put them away in the loft.

If you just want to put a CD in and play it without ripping, I haven't done that but mpd can handle CDDA audio (not sure if this depends on compile time options and if so whether they are enabled in moode): there is some discussion of someone having achieved something similar with volumio here https://www.bing.com/search?q=mpd+cd+pla...ersationid=#
Judging by that thread the difficulty they encountered was automounting the CD, you could have a look at my guide which includes a udev rule to match audio CD insertion which you could modify to automount the CD and update mpd with the tracks.

In the middle of a road trip around New England. It’s raining this morning here in Southwest Harbor ME so I’m using up my cellphone data plan to catch up on forum posts over a mug of coffee.

CD playback is doable in moOde. Just playing tracks is the easy bit. Think of it as an old standalone CD player—stop/play and display “track 1, track 2, etc.”, and no cover art. A while back a fellow named Ashley Cox sent Tim some scripts for playback and for ripping (this latter much like aknabbaugh’s work). I tweaked the playback script a bit and we emailed back and forth but then both of us got distracted with more pressing issues.

I can write up what we did and post it late next week.

Looking forward to your post, or can you share the current code?

I'll have to dig back through my notes.

At a glance, your just-posted HowTo is a very similar approach to what we were doing. I'll make any further comment there.

I'm interested too.

Hello,

I am joining this thread, as I am really interested in having a good CD player in Moode audio that just plays and not rips all the discs inserted. I want to be able to listen to a disc without increasing the space taken up on my hard drives.

I found the solution proposed by TheOldPresbyope, simple and effective. And I would be happy to see the V1 or even more the V2. But it seems that the choice was for a rip and play solution. So I forked the moOdeCDPlay project and modified things to include track metadata. It's not nearly as good as I'd like. Until now, I was just a Moode Audio user, so I'm not really familiar with its architecture.

You can take a look at https://github.com/coissac/moOdeCDPlay . As I am the only fork, I am easy to find.

Best wishes

Eric
