_Never_ do that. You could damage all your system.
Try:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 nov 19 1999 /dev/cdrom ->
/dev/hdc
and
brw-rw---- 2 root cdrom 11, 1 jul 31 2000 /dev/hdc
Add user to group cdrom

At least for xmcd you should do that. Install suidregister (this is a
good idea) and type:
suidregister -s xmcd /usr/lib/xmcd/Linux-i686/xmcd root audio 4750
suidregister -s xmcd /usr/lib/xmcd/Linux-i686/cda root audio 4750
Add user to group audio

xmcdconfig is straightforward

I don't know which is the best.
