Hi Kaj, Well, it works. Seems like the problem centered around the identities of cdrom(1) - the cdwriter functioning as a writer, and cdrom2 - the CDROM player. After I edited the fstab as Derek suggested, it still wouldn't work (though I could manually get the CDROM to play (by pushing the play button on the machine). I tried changing the preferences in Kcdplayer to /dev/scd0 (for the CDROM, which it should be according to the drive parameter "hdb") -- it worked. Now, why it wouldn't it do the same when listed as an IDE device (/dev/cdrom)? Sigh . . . Thank-you for responding so quickly, and in length. Your advice was great. My wife also thanks you -- now she can listen to her Flamenco guitar music!
