This is to play music CDs, yes?

The device file is called /dev/cdrom
It will be a link to the real /dev/xxx device, which varies
depending on whether you have an IDE or SCSI CDROM.

ls -l /dev/cdrom

will show you the proper device name. You need to change the
permissions on the device with chmod.

chmod 666 /dev/cdrom

should actually work. If not, substitute the real device name.
