No, it's a very good point.

I tried a music disk, pushing the play button on the drive itself, and it 
doesn't play. The drive lights up when I'm loading a disk into it, then 
nothing else happens when I push the play button. I'm probably looking at a 
bad drive, but want to eliminate all other possibilities before putting in a 
new one.

Using KSCD as root I get the following error:

CD-ROM read or access error (or no audio disc in drive).
Please make sure you have access permissions to:
/dev/cdrom1

In a console, as root:

root@localhost:/home/tigerflag# cd /dev/cdrom1
bash: cd: /dev/cdrom1: No such file or directory
