I'm trying to play an audio cd using gnomes cd player. I'm using udev and have already set user to audio and optical group. When I set CD Player Device to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 I get an Error setting device. The following is displayed:
You do not seem to have permission to access /dev/cdroms/cdrom0.
This means that the CD player will not be able to run.
I checked the symlink for cdrom0 and it points to /dev/hdc which belongs to disk group. Should I add user to this group? Or did I forget to do something else besides adding user to audio and optical group?

that's exactly what I did. added myself to the disk group.

please read the information in this posting after the gpasswd -a commands. you need to add your hdX to your permissions file for udev.
for example:
# optical devices
sr*:root:optical:660
scd*:root:optical:660
pcd*:root:optical:0660
cdrom*:root:optical:0660
dvd:root:optical:0660
rdvd:root:optical:0660
cdroms/*:root:optical:0660
hdc:root:optical:0660
hdd:root:optical:0660
(that is an exerpt from /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions the entries in red are what i had to add to get proper user permissions on my cd/dvdrom and dvd-rw drives.

Could there be any other reason?
I've recently upgraded to udev and have the same problem, but none of these fixes are any good. My problem is that I can't play audio CDs as I don't have permissions... can mount OK tho.
