Music CDs are not mounted at all. You would not have neen able to see them in a file browser in 8.1 either. Assuming you mean that kscd will not play them, then it is most likely to be an issue with the device name for your CD drive. Your CD drive will be /dev/cdrom or /dec/scd0 or /dev/scd1 (I assume also that you were able to play CDs in 8.1 and so the analogue audio cable is fited between the drive and the sound card.) derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

That's close enough to make me happy. Richard *** Richard Hackwith Sacramento CA[EMAIL PROTECTED] *** Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
