i didn't know that konq could read CD's. it mmust have been KAudioCreator
that i used to extract a few tracks onto my drive. somehow, it assumed
that i wanted the whole CD and i must have messed up while trying to quit.
there's a player and extractor on the gnome side, Sound Juicer. for
some reason it can't find /dev/cd0. [?]
