thats probably the problem, chances are the media player is looking for /dev/cdrom

add a symlink to it OR add an entry in your fstab file to it

you can test this before hand with a command line mp3 or music player like if your system is using alsa(probably is), try play /dev/hda and see what happens, if that works add a symlink to /dev/hda so whatever media player your using can find it, this is why your getting errors, its looking for a cdrom drive where there isnt one

yeah, i just checked for the files in /dev/cdrom you asked for, and there wasnt a folder with that name, although, i dont think there is an hda there either... ill go and check now

[Raekwon]

yah, works now thanks heaps horndude, you're a great help to everyone here

[horndude]

no problem, thats what im here for

Just so you know whats up, the fstab file in the /etc directory lists the filesystems and devices your OS can mount, it searches thru there at boot time and tries to mount the ones it can, it also uses that to search for devices when you use a removable drive like a CDROM for example, any other program like a media player also uses it for the same reason, so if it isnt listed, it wont work unless you either add it, or add a symlink(shortcut) to it.Most media players automatically look for /dev/cdrom by default.
