I can use any app, put it is usually xmms. I config the player to play from /dev/acd0 and use digital audio only. I added a group called cd_access that could access and mount drives(cd drives only I think) and made my self a group member. I set vfs.usermount = 1 under sysctl.config. I added own /dev/acd0 root:cd_access perm /dev/acd0 0770 to devfs.conf. I set this up when I was much newer to BSD, I think I may have the wrong permissions. Anyone see a problem? I can also mount cds to any dir I own without any su or sudo stuff. I can also burncds to with this set up. When I was really new I had to run xmms as root to get it to play cds, which is why I found this group stuff out so I would not need to run xmms as root. This should be in the handbook, anyone else think so?
