Yes, I have googled for much of today. There are a lot of responses, but I tried to stick to one where it was related to gentoo. Like I said, there is a symlink that links cdrom to sr0. One of the things I found when I googled said that they made a symlink to sr0 from cdrom. That didn't make sense to me so. I didn't try it. Another post suggested that there was a problem with phonon. Hence, I emerge an upgrade (albeit unstable) to phonon-gstreamer. In honesty, one thing I didn't try was writing a udev rule that was suggested. Call me stubborn, but I've never had to write a rule to get an audio CD to play before so, I will only do that as a last resort. I've tried to stay away from posts that were back in 2003 and 2004 'cause they may not be relevant now. The line in my fstab is: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0 Maybe I should have said /dev/sr0? I may have to keep plugging, but thought I would post in case anyone else has encountered this problem.
