The problem is that kscd (the KDE cd player) uses /dev/rmatcd0c (matsushita ??) as the default device. If it doesn't exist kscd core dumps. You can change the cd device in ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc, however it's a catch 22. kscdrc is empty until you run kscd for the first time, and you can't run kscd until you've got the right device..... The line you need to add is: CDDevice=/dev/cd0c or the appropriate device for your cd. Or you could remove /dev/rmatcd0c and make it a symlink to the correct device. There is also a bug in the cddb feature (which allows kscd to automatically d/l a track list for the cd you're playing). I found the following fix for this: "Check out the patches in the bug list area. I've posted a couple of patches in the descriptions to the source to fix the problems I was having. The first one changes a string in cddb.cpp (around line 276 and another around line 519) from Kscd to kscd (change in capitalization). For some reason, the CDDB servers do not like the string with a capital letter." Since I didn't have the source installed I hacked the binary with vi looking for all instance of ``Kscd'' and changing to ``kscd'' if the occurrence appeared to be related to cddb (as opposed to dialogue/help messages).
