Hello. I'm a Linux newbie, and I'm having a problem with my cd-rom. I
used to be able to play audio cds in my cd-rom. Then, I had to do some
SCSI emulation so Redhat 7.0 would recognize my burner. Ever since
then, my cd-rom will only recognize data cds...not audio cds. When I
put the audio cd in and try to mount or open /mnt/cdrom, an error
message comes up saying "wrong media type". What can I do to fix the
situation? All my links to the device are correct, and the read-write
permissions on the device are correct.

have you tried just using `xplaycd` without mounting ?
if i try to mount an audio cd i get:

$ mount /dev/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems

if i just use a cd playing app it works fine..
also using the buttons on the drive make it work aswell..independently of using an app to play it / mounting it.

Try adding:

append = "hdc=ide-scsi"

To your /etc/lilo.conf file

If you are wanting to play or even burn a cd you do not need to mount
the cd. Linux doesnt read audio media and will not mount it like
other file types. Just bring up your favourite cdplayer toss your cd
in and enjoy. IF you have a back up cd or some other cd with files on
it they you do use the mount command with the file type ie. mount -t
vfat /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom

Hope this helps and have a happy new year

I have the exact same problem on my machine. I have already put a
modprobe line in rc.local, i already have put the options line in
modules.conf, i have created new symlinks to both of my cd-rom drives
in /dev.
When I open a cd player, it does not recognize an audio disc in either
my cd-rw or my dvd-rom drives.

can we just tell the cd player to look at /dev/scd0 instead of
/dev/cdrom??

Anybody have any other ideas about this issue?

well, I found that if I informed the cd player that my cd drive is at
/dev/scd0 then everything works fine. I wonder if the link /dev/cdrom
to /dev/scd0 should be a hard link rather than a symlink??

Yep...I just tried this command and everything works great. I didn't
add it to my /etc/lilo.conf file, I just typed it in on the command
line and hit enter. Thanks!!!
