You could try, as root: ln -s /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /dev/cdrom and make sure the permissions are 777 (r-xr-xr-x). Your CD drive might not be cdrom0 though. > but I do have a Sony CD-RW and I can mount and umount, > read and write to it. > > Also tried XMMS but can't play a music CD on it either, > and cannot find any help-button on the control window > that XMMS starts.

There is a doublesize option on the OAIDV menu on screen, or in the dropdown menu, or Ctrl-D.
