CDPlayer never auto-boots for me either. When CDPlayer is running, I can
insert a CD and it will keep it in the drive instead of auto-ejecting it as
usual. But it will not recognize the CD as audio and allow me to play it. It
just sits there in the drive doing nothing and it seems to read my hard drive
periodically while it does this. It doesn't matter whether I am root or not
when this occurs. I tried what some suggested of moving CDPlayer to
LocalApps, but that made no difference. Could it be that I am using an Apple
CD-ROM drive? It looks and operates just like the NeXT drive in every other
way (i.e. I installed 3.0 from it).
Looking forward to coaxing out some music from this thing.
