Hi Cheryl, You using Debian? If so, your cd burner is now located in /media/cdrom and would be either 0 or 1, depending on where it is. Did you run -scanbus? Did you get other errors? Is the code correct in your script? If you mean data cd's your script should look something like the below. #!/bin/sh exec cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,1,0 -data $1 The audio script should look a bit different. getting these things to work is a Hell of a thing!
