Re: Playing Audio CD's

Jason,
Your CD-Writer is being identified as a SCSI device using ide-scsi 
emulation so XCD-Roast will recognize it properly.  This makes CD music 
players choke for some reason and they don't see the device.  I guess 
they are looking for an IDE CDROM instead of a SCSI device.  The 
difference is /dev/hdc versus /dev/sdc0 in the /dev directory.  The 
kernel uses special designations for each file in the /dev directory to 
identify hardware.  These designations are called major and minor device 
numbers.  Suffice to say, for some reason, if you need to emulate SCSI 
with the ide-scsi module for burning CDs or DVDs then the player 
programs usually won't work right.  I am sure there is a workaround but 
I don't know it yet.  The ide-scsi module is usually invoked at boot 
using the /etc/lilo.conf file to configure LILO to boot with the 
appended parameter.
