Bug Description
In previous versions of Ubuntu, I was able to change the default media player that started when I inserted a DVD, VCD or CD individually, under "system > preferences > removable drives and media"
The tab has been removed and I cannot find any way of changing the default program that starts when I insert a DVD, the only options I have now (hidden away in Nautilus's settings) are "Ask" or "open" or "do nothing" or "totem"
There also seems to be an option is "Preferred Applications" for default media player, but it has only two fixed options and one 'custom' and doesn't seem to have any effect on the player that comes up when I insert a DVD.
How do I reconfigure my system so that when I insert a DVD, it plays in VLC, when I insert a CD it plays in Rhythmbox. Is this a bug, or just a (really really stupid and annoying) deliberate UI-simplifying decision

No it isn't. I have read that bug report and I do not think it's talking about the same issue at all.
In Gutsy I used to have options of what media player would start when I inserted a DVD, VCD, or audio CD. The problem is NOT that players aren't being detected. The problem is that the entire "Media" tab been COMPLETELY REMOVED from the Drives and Devices dialog.
That's where it used to be.
That seems to be the most logical place for it.
Will somebody please put it back? Or tell me how so that at least MY machine works how I think it should?
