Ok Scott I got you. You want to rip the CD. That should be easier. Let 
me suggest something elementary first. Why don't you
mount your cd as

su -
password
mount-t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt

You should see you disk mounted and songs like files that you can 
transfer to hard disk. Of course you
can convert them latter to some format you like best.

Did you read Gnome project documentation on using sound juser as

*Nautilus-cd-burner does not let me burn CDs or 
Totem/Goobox/Sound-juicer cannot find my CD/DVD drive. How can I fix this?*

Nautilus-cd-burner, totem, goobox, and sound-juicer cannot use CD/DVD 
drives unless support for those devices is enabled in the kernel, and 
the permissions on the device nodes allow write access. 
Nautilus-cd-burner, totem, goobox, and sound-juicer talk to CD/DVD 
drives through the SCSI CAM subsystem. Therefore, you must make sure you 
have the following configured in your kernel:

device          scbus
device          cd
device          pass
       

You must also make sure you have the following configured in your kernel 
if you are using an ATAPI CD/DVD drive:

device     atapicam
       

Finally, if you are running GNOME 2.16 or later, you must have HAL 
running <http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q19>, or you will 
only be able to burn to an ISO image file.

To figure out which CD/DVD drive you will be using, run the following 
command as root:

# camcontrol devlist
       

Your output will look similar to the following:

<QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-242 UD22>      at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass0)
       

The devices in parentheses at the end are important. You must make sure 
the /dev entries for those devices are writable by the users that will 
be using nautilus-cd-burner, totem, goobox, or sound-juicer. In addition 
to those devices, /dev/xpt* must also be writable to your 
nautilus-cd-burner, totem, goobox, and sound-juicer users. The following 
/etc/devfs.conf configuration will achieve the desired results given the 
above devlist:

perm    cd0     0666
perm    xpt0    0666
perm    pass0   0666
         

If you encounter problems burning to discs with nautilus-cd-burner, set 
the following GConf /apps/nautilus-cd-burner/debug to /true/ using 
*Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor* (gconf-editor from 
the command line). Then run nautilus-cd-burner from the command line, 
reproduce the problem you are having, and capture the output on the 
command line. Include this along with the rest of your bug report 
<http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/bugging.html>.

Let me know what is going on.
