Hollis,

Thanks for the reponse. I'll have to try using another ROM for MOl
later but I can tell you that cdparanoia, run as root with the -s -v
options, finds the drive, tells me what is is but then says, are you
sure this is an audio CD?

It was a bought Tom Waits CD.

Using XMMS and selecting find file and going to /dev/cdom shows nothing
in the menu.

Clearly Audio Cds are not being recognised. Is this a kernel issue?

Any ideas?

Thanks very much

joss
