Those variables are used by cdrecord, see "man cdrecord" for details. > $cdcontrol play 1 still produces drive activity but no sound. The corresponding cdcontrol variable is $CDROM. If you've got only one drive, you won't need it. If I remember correctly, the first drive that's being detected will be the default when -f is omitted.

Maybe "Because"! :-) I'm not sure which device those programs will address. In some cases, it helped to do "cdcontrol info" before launching the program. However, it's possible that some programs rely on the presence of "track device files" /dev/acdXtYY which is a mechanism _not_ provided by the /dev/cdX "SCSI" device. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
