Brian, Quoting from "man grip" (down in the "Common Questions" section): Q: I can play cd's fine, but my ripper can't access the drive. Why not? A: Rippers (cdparanoia, at least) need access to the generic SCSI device as well. See the "Running Grip/GCD" section for more information on this. For further information about setting up "SCSI Generic" emulation, see the CD-Writing HOWTO http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html HTH
