I don't remember exactly how those CD playing utilities are working, but I guess they need to access the raw disk device (because CDDA-compliant CDs don't have any form of partition table)... /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd (which normally are your CD drives, if you have connected them to the secondary IDE bus) are mode 660 root:cdrom here - try adding yourself to the group cdrom or playing CDs as root... does that work? If it doesn't, please elaborate a bit on the errors you're getting from gnome-cd and alsaplayer... > sleep well! Thank you - it was short, but has to be enough. Jan -- Jan C.
