Yes, make sure that your user is in the audio and cdrom groups. Have
you read this? http://wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ
I hadn't seen it before, but now that I have glanced at it, I don't
believe it has relevance for me as my system sounds work and until I
started trying to get .mp3 working, both Rythmbox, Goobox, etc. worked
fine, but could only rip .ogg files.
When I run Goobox from terminal, I get the following, unfortunately as
a newbie, It could just as easily be Greek:
$ goobox

Segmentation fault
Rhythmbox is silent as the grave.
GNOME CD Player, likewise.
NB Automatix is quite well known for breaking stuff.
I have only heard positive things about both EasyUbuntu and Automatix,
but maybe only from people that haven't tried it themselves???
Cheers,
Brian
