When I insert a cd in drive, it starts up the Parole Media Player.

How do I change that so the VLC Media Player, which is installed on my PC, becomes the default player?

  • You may find that once vlc is set as default for audio cd's it will work but not return proper track names. If that's an issue for you comment back & I'll show how to fix. – doug Aug 15 '15 at 16:45

    Parole Media Player is my default player.

    Instead I want VLC Media Player to be it.

    I go: Settings - Removable Drives and Media - Multimedia.

    In the section Audio CDs I mark to: Play audio CDs when inserted.

    And then I choose the folder icon to the right of the commandline. I choose vlc and the commandline displays: /usr/bin/vlc

    Now VLC is the default player.

  • Thanks @doug. It actually returns proper track names at some cd's, but at some it doesn't. – michael Aug 16 '15 at 07:01

Open the System-Settings. In the section "System" open "Details". Then click on "Removeable Media" and change the "CD audio"-entry to VLC
