Okay, now I did it! Messing around trying to sort out how to convert .wav files to .mp3 to conserve some drive space. I looked at Grip (until it finally dawned on me that it is meant for Gnome .. I'm playing with KDE <sigh>), Lame, and a couple of other programs. Grip played the CD's really well .. and that was it. Kaudiocreator never even spotted the CD drive nor did some of the other utilities I messed with also.

And to top it all off now, I can't even access the drive at all either via with the file browser or through the terminal. The standard KDE CD player happily plays the CD, but now I can't pull files down.

My desktop sometimes recognizes that there is a music cd in the drive (the icon changes to reflect this if I drop one in during a session, but not when I initially boot the system), but that is all I can accomplish. When trying to access the drive with the file browser or even trying to mount/view it with the terminal I get:

/dev/cdrom: Input/output error
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified

Tracking down the file /etc/fstab shows this:

/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0


Tried mounting the drive using the -t iso9660 option and it balked at that too.

How do I fix this?

Mike
