Making MP3's as user...

[Daedra]

ive been trying to make mp3, ogg, files with grip & cdparanoia as a normal use, but for some reason it wont rip tracks, im guessing its a permission problem, i chmod /dev/cdrom, but that did'nt do it so im guessing it maybe my /etc/fstab...

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0

if you guys have any ideas let me know

thanks

if you chmod the parent dir don't all subs dir recive the same permissions?
or is that somthings else I'm thinking of.

you didnt mention what mode you changed /dev/cdrom to...I personally chmod it 666 and making mp3s as user works fine.

And to answer Huggy, chmod only acts recursively with chmod -R (or -r, cant remember which). Either way, /dev/cdrom isn't a folder anyways. So chmod 666 /dev/cdrom that should do it.

If you are emulating SCSI on your cd-rom/cd-rw drives, you have to reset the permissions on /dev/sg0 to get cdparanoia to rip as user.

chmod 666 /dev/sg0
