Ah! OK. It seems as though the problem lies with GNOME. I'm sorry, but I don't use GNOME and can't offer any suggestions. The position is that udev recognises when an audio CD is inserted or ejected and it updates the symlinks. Programs that can be told what drive to use can see and access the CD. The problem is that Gnome (?) does not recognise that the CD has been inserted and so does not initiate the program to play it. Rhythmbox needs that same notification to tell it to put the CD device into the sidebar and thus make it accessible, so rhythmbox cannot be used at all with an audio CD.

As far as I am aware, you don't mount audio CD's. As far as I can see, then, the problem is further on in the chain that leads to a media player's being started. How does udev notify gnome that something has happened? If CDROM's mount ok, then I wouldn't worry about udev at this point. I don't use GNOME so I don't know how much it interferes with the underling subsystems. But I'd try installing cdtool, and see if it plays with that. It may help eliminate GNOME from the equation. If it doesn't work with cdtool, then GNOME could possibly be interfering, although thats only a wild guess. Just like a blood test doesn't prove you are the father, but proves whether you definitely aren't. :) -- If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I found that rhythmbox never showed an audio CD as available to play - it should come up under devices on the left-hand sidebar. I then tried setting the system to run VLC instead, using System Settings. Still nothing happens when a CD is inserted. (But VLC can play the CD if directed to.) I found that a data CD is not mounted when it is inserted; I had to mount it manually. The Debian version is sid - up-to-date. I don't know where the problem resides.

But I'm not currently familiar with udev; I don't see anything immediately relevant. What options should I use, or what should I expect to see in that list?

First, I was wrong about it's not mounting the data CD. I was looking in the wrong place. So it is only about audio CDs.
