Following a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.2 STABLE without 
doing all updates.

After following the Manual guide on setting up permanent 
symbolic links as you suggest and having the correct link 
to /dev/cdrom I still have problems trying to play cds. 
They do play and I can hear the sound too,, but most of the 
time there is an intermittent pause after the track has 
been playing for several seconds and then a skip to the 
next track. Sometimes it skips to the next track without 
playing any of the current one. 

I have been and still do play music cds under Linux systems 
and never had any problems.

any ideas?

neal.

 To play the media as regular user you have give appropriate permissions in
/etc/devfs.conf.
check man page for devfs.conf(5).

$ cdcontrol play
cdcontrol: /dev/acd0: Permission denied
$ su

Password:
tulip# cdcontrol play  <--  it plays the CD OK
as root
tulip# ls -l /usr/sbin/cdcontrol

As a regular user it will not play.   As root CDs play Ok. I've been
reading about the operator group as a fix. Is that the way?

What should I do? Thanks

After you have connected CDROM-drive to the sound card and configured KsCD (KDE 
audio player), everything should be OK.

Let me add a few comments after Pietro Cerutti's.

With the cdcontrol you will determine if your hardware is able to play
audio CDs. On (some?) PCs you have to connect the CD-ROM drive to your
sound card, I cannot count the number of times I forgetted to
reconnect this cable after an in-chassis intervention.

If you can play CDs with cdcontrol, it is likely that your preffered
CD-player cannot figure where to find the CD-rom device. It is fairly
common that CD-player applications expect to find a symbolic link
/dev/cdrom pointing to the actual CD-ROM controlling device. If there
is no such link on your system, it can easily be added. However, it is
not sufficient to

  # cd /dev; ln -s acd0 cdrom

because /dev is not a persistant filesystem (it is reinitialised across
reboots, because it is a *virtual* filesystem). To add the symbolic
link, you should edit the /etc/devfs.conf file (look at the line with
the word `cdrom' in it) and let the system notice your changes:

  # vi /etc/devfs.conf
  # /etc/rc.d/devfs restart

(If you are not comfortable with vi, try the easy editor `ee' instead:

  # ee /etc/devfs.conf

)

You might prefer trying to tell your preferred CD-player where it can
find the CD-ROM device, this can often be done with an `Edit
Preferences' dialog.

Please elaborate this sentence. What did you try? What error messages
did you get?

No, you cannot mount audio cds.
