A special handler can make it seem more like one. Disregarding people's misunderstanding of loading an audio CD, thinking it's been mounted. If you'd found that you couldn't use a CD, when you've previously been able to. I'd think about: Has the non-working disc ever worked before? If you've never tried *it* before, you may have one of those non-standard discs that are deliberately designed not to work in computers. Or, if you have used that disc, successfully, before, then I'd be inclined to wonder about damage to the discs, or clogged up or worn out drives. Or, if no disc will play, yet have before, whether you've muted an audio output. It's not unknown for a drive to be able to read DVDs, but not CDs, because part of the laser has failed, and it can no-longer do both functions. Or that certain burnt DVDs, or CDs, are easier to read than others. I'm still astounded that people will continue to buy the cheapest and crappest blank discs, even after they've experienced failure after failure. A friend of mine did that for years, reckoning he was saving money by not buying the tubes of discs that were about $2 more expensive. Yet, he was trashing a significant proportion of his discs, wasting more money than if he'd bought the better ones. Not to mention the burning and verification time being wasted. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
