Re: Can't play audio CD's



Thus spake James Hosken:
# lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            3 Nov 26  2003 cdrom1 -> hdc
# lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Feb 12 21:34 cdrom2 -> scd0
# 
# I'm a member of the following grups
# james cdrom audio www-data src
# 
# 
# In the Xmms Preferances, I've gone to CD Player Audio Config and set the
# first device as /dev/cdrom1
# and the directory as /mnt/dvd
# 
# On checking the drive I get the error
# 
# "Failed to open device /dev/cdrom1
# Error: Permission denied
# Directory /mnt/dvd OK."

What are the permissions of /dev/hdc?  The links are rwxrwxrwx, but the devices
themselves may not be.  /dev/hdc should be rw-rw---- root cdrom, and in fact
should be, but anything could happen.
