Do not get too hung up over permissions when talking about audio CDs. Audio CDs are not file systems and cannot be 'mounted' so the permissions shown are meaningless. What release are you using? Handling of CDs has changed recently. Does kscd open when you insert the Cd? Does kscd appear to be playing without sound? derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
