I have a tripple boot of Win, FC3 and SuSe 9.1. If I want to play an audio cd it plays well in Win and SuSe but not in FC3. I get an error that "IO error, cannot read superblock". Why? What should I do?
Regards

You don't mount a CD to play audio, so an fstab entry shouldn't make any difference, as it only contains permissions when mounting or unmounting a device.
depends what you are playing it with... i need to mount with xmms...
but you are correct, if you are trying to play it in something that does not need it mounted then you just need to make sure the app is looking at the correct device and the permissions of that device are set for user access.

Originally posted by screamautumn you would need to add on the entry for your cdrom an option that allows user access.
a copy of my fstab with the important part bolded:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0
I tried as suggested by you. Myself was using FC3 at that moment and given the following entry to the /etc/fstab..../dev/hdd /media/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0
I did not notice that I could able to play audio CDs logging in as root. After getting a reference from Fedora Forum, I logged in as root, and tested with a audio cd. It was playing well but no sound. Then I checked Sound & Video > Volume Control and observed that it was set zero volume. I make it full and then played the cd and believe me.....it rocked.
Then I checked the permission of /dev/hdd
ls -l /dev/hdd
and set the permission to all
chmod a+rw /dev/hdd
Then logged in as user and inserted an audio cd. Wow......it is working here too.....
So............THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED........................
Many thanks to those friends in the forum who provided me courage and extended their helping hands.
