trying to play cds... i go into xmms preferences- cd audio player - configure...
device = /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
directory = /mnt/cd
... and i click on 'check drive' and it comes up with
Failed to open device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
Directory /mnt/cd OK
... i've done 'gpasswd -a christian disk'
but that doesn't appear to help... anyone else had this problem or know how to deal with it?
thanks!

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is the devfs naming scheme. If your kernel is up to date, devfs is gone, so change that to /dev/cdrom.

/dev/cdrom gives the same 'permission denied'
if i change it to /dev/cdroms it comes up with :
Failed to read "Table of Contents"
Maybe no disc in the drive?
Directory /mnt/cd OK
...? thanks
