CD stuff
TheQuirk:
$ mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
Substitue /sev/hdc to your cdrom, of course. And /mnt/cdrom can be interchanged to where you want to mount it to.

i am also not able to listen to cd's in linux. when i put them in my cd-rw drive the cd player will come up but it will say there is no cd in the drive. when i put it in my other cd-rom drive it plays but i get no sound(this is b/c i dont have the sound cord going from mu cdrom drive to my sound card). I want to use the cd-rw drive for music b/c my other one is to old to rip music. so if anyone has answears to this strange problem please post them?

I have music. But I'm not sure how. It would give me errors whenever I used Nuatilus to look at the cds. No viewer installed I think. Now I can play the CDs using XMMS ever since I first got it to play by typing /mnt/cdrom into the play location dialog (and view them).
However trying to load MP3 playlists is proving troublesome, but that may be an issue with the CD's. In this case burnt by me under Windows, and no they are not by anyone still alive so I don't feel guilty at having them. And there is nothing in the directory when I view audio CD under nautilus - but this is not a problem.
Thanks all. It's more a case of I'm still wondering around learning the basics.
If I can get my CD writing configured and a scanner configured (I may buy a new scanner anyway as I am currently running it off of a bench power supply) then I will be able to loose windows and start doing the stuff I want to do on my computer.
Wild Jester : Are you trying to play ordinary purchased CDs (burnt audio CDs can be picky)? Have you tried playing audio files (mp3, etc. and does it work)? Are you 100% positive you CDRW is in working condition. Have you tried numerous CDs and of various types (homemade, purchased, etc.)

my cdrw is working correctly. i can mount data cds and read and write to them. i was trying to play a purchased cd not a burned one (but i will try that now). i thought that it might have been cd's with xtras on them but that is not the problem. when i open KsCD it says ejected at the top and i cant mount the cd either from command prompt
