/cdrom -vs- /dev/hdc



Dear debian users,

I'm having some trouble loading my audio cd through /cdrom directory. Before I start talking about the problem, here are the files that are of use to this problem.

==============================================================
[brock@parker brock]$ ls -l / | grep 'cdrom'
dr-xr-xr-x   11 root     root         4096 Jul 18  2002 cdrom
[brock@parker brock]$ ls -l /dev/hdc
brw-rw----    1 root     cdrom     22,   0 Mar 14  2002 /dev/hdc
[brock@parker brock]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            3 Feb 11 16:46 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
[brock@parker brock]$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda4       /               ext3    errors=remount-ro       0       1
/dev/hda3       none            swap    sw                      0       0
proc            /proc           proc    defaults                0       0
/dev/fd0        /floppy         auto    user,noauto             0       0
/dev/cdrom      /cdrom          iso9660 ro,user,noauto          0       0
[brock@parker brock]$ groups
brock cdrom audio
====================================================================

I can actually load audio files through /dev/hdc and /dev/cdrom but I cannot load them through /cdrom. I can mount and run data cds perfectly through /cdrom but the audio files don't show up there for some reason. Does anyone have an idea why this doesn't work? I'm looking to solve this problem rather than to ignore it and use /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom to load audio files. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
