He asked about playing audio CDs. Your suggestion is helpful for someone who needs to mount a *data* CD, but not an audio CD. You don't mount them. You simply put them in and use whatever cd-player app you prefer. At most, you may have to tell it the name of the device, for example, /dev/hdc. Or to make it easier, create the link to /dev/cdrom as you show. The /etc/fstab entry isn't necessary. Hall
