Re: problem playing audio CD's
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
