Ah! Looks like you've chmoded the wrong devices.  IME, cdparanoia uses the
"generic" scsi devices "/dev/sg*" rather than the CD scsis devices
"/dev/scd*". I guess you need to look at /dev/sg0 for the permissions
thing...

[cdaly at Valkerie cdaly]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Mar 24  2002 /dev/cdrom -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Aug 30 19:34 /dev/cdrom1 ->
/dev/scd1

[cdaly at Valkerie cdaly]$ ls -l /dev/scd[01]
brw-------    1 jp       disk      11,   0 Aug 30  2001 /dev/scd0
brw-------    1 jp       disk      11,   1 Aug 30  2001 /dev/scd1

[cdaly at Valkerie cdaly]$ ls -l /dev/sg[01]
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     disk      21,   0 Aug 30  2001 /dev/sg0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     disk      21,   1 Aug 30  2001 /dev/sg1

This lot...

Do ya want my mp3-catalogue[0] script?  It searches out and catalogues mp3
files in and below the current directory and makes index files that xmms
can use.

[0] It's a European version but there's an American conversion command for
it.  Lemme see, Oh yes: "mv mp3-catalogue mp3-catalog".  That'll do it...
