Hi Wayne, Are you able to listen to audio CDs as root? I had that problem, and what I ened up doing was changing the group for my device (/dev/hdb) to the cdrom group. I then added myself to the cdrom group and was able to play (and hear!) audio CDs as a normal user. I don't think the fstab entries have much to do with it. I think they just set you up so you can mount the drive easily, and I don't think you need to mount audio CDs to play them. I'm going to follow this thread closely, because I too have an IDE burner that I haven't gotten around to setting up yet. What's said here may help me dodge a bullet when I get ready to try. It's been too easy to reboot into Windows, are burn a disc when I need to. However, last weekend I reached the limit of my tolerance for the crashes and yanked the Windows drive. ;^) Good luck! -- Mark Wagnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
