totem doesnt lock cd-drive

[Martin Schmeisser]

On todays dapper totem doesnt lock the cd drive when im listening to audio cds. I can press the drives eject button and it ejects the cds, then of course the playback stops.

I would like totem to lock the cd drive so i can only open it when i press the stop button.

Thanks for your bug. Could you argue on why locking the drive would be useful? Do you often press that button by accident? It seems to be an extra step that would rather be annoying for an user than useful...

its consistent, when you mount a data cd you have to unmount it before you can eject it to prevent applications that run on or from the cd from crashing

usually you dont put a cd in to listen to just one song, you want to hear most of the songs, then i usually end totem and then i eject the cd

and yes, i hit the cd button quite often with my knee because i cant sit still :-)

thanks for your time!

The reason for datas CD is a technical one, the drive is locked by the system when used not by the application to prevent it to be ejected. I've forwarded your request upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339754

"... and yes, i hit the cd button quite often with my knee because i cant sit still :-) "

hehehehe, the whole point of listening is to make you wanna dance surely?
For me it'd be tricky - i like to have lots of options for ending things fast but i can see your point.
