Re: problem playing audio CD's
Hi Philipp,
Did u log out, and back in? This typically takes care of that. And btw,
I just read through more of this string and I really like changing the
group to cdrom and then just adding yourself and whoever else will use
the cdrom - it's much more sanitary then adding yourself to disk.
