Hi, thanks for your responses! I can now access audio-cd's BUT ONLY AS ROOT! I changed my setting in /dev to this:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3 Oct 29 00:03 /dev/cdrom ->hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Jul 5 2000 /dev/hdc I added the user (user1) to this group: # adduser user1 disk now ROOT can play CD's but not user1 - is there any other group I don't belong to? When I try to specify the device in cdcd I get 'Permission denied' (trying to add /dev/cdrom) What else can I do? BTW cdcd is working great :) (but just for root for now) TIA, Philipp Jaye Inabnit ke6sls wrote: > Philipp, > > No worries. Many have been here before :) > > You don't mount an audio cd!
