Don't we just love software that gives half-error messages? Just how |
| 32 |
difficult would it have been for the author to have identified just what |
| 33 |
files and devices you couldn't access? |

Is your user a member of the audio group? I do CD ripping sometimes, and |
| 36 |
the three groups acm is a member of which seem relevant are audio, cdrom, |
| 37 |
and cdrw. |

Running ripping as root isn't ideal. |
