Just a wildly presumptive question - are you a member of the 'cdrom' group? There is some actual reasoning to restricting access to the cdrom to those who are part of that group - if you do things like offering access to your system for others (a couple of friends have access to my machine over the Internet, but honestly have no need to access my cdrom drives, or group 'audio' in order to access my speakers.) If you aren't a member of 'cdrom', use root privileges and addgroup user group to put the appropriate accounts into that group. As to not being able to rip, is the physical cdrom device new or old? I have CD-ROM devices from my old box that won't permit ripping because they don't support reading audio CDs as multiple data tracks - no matter of permissions fiddling is going to get past that. -- Mark L.
