There are no *.wav files on a music CD. This must be some kind of representation known from "Windows" land where files (!) are displayed that do NOT exist. And *.wav is especially wrong as a WAV file would contain a header and data, while a CD audio track is DATA ONLY (in a strictly defined format). Seems that Gnome "inherited" that nonsense... What if you use Gnome's CD playing application, or something like XMMS with the CD audio plugin? I think your permissions are okay so you could make the drive play from your (non-root) user account. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
