OK I shall do that now .... didn't get me any further with the music.

I see the link in there:

ls -la /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 2006-04-10 13:05 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc

and

ls -la /dev/hdc
brw-rw----  1 root disk 22, 0 2004-09-18 12:51 /dev/hdc


and it will allow me to mount stuff as /cdrom, but I can't get music cds 
to play.

kscd says "CDROM read or access error / please make sure you have access 
permissions to /dev/cdrom" which seems to be missing the point.
