Understood about not mounting CDROM disks. Confused music with data 
disks

Thanks! That solved my problem. I find cache (enable/disable) and 
cache size (cache). 

In /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf there is a cache section. I changed the 
line

	# cache = 8192
 
  to 
	
	cache = 16384

and that seems to  have fixed the buffer problem.

The scripts folder is in my path. I holds many commands I regularly 
use.

Turns out that the "play" command was earlier taken by another 
application. So I changed the command from play to Play, and now it 
works without the cache problem. The Play command is:

	mplayer /dev/sr0 cdda://

The option -cdrom-device is default and so is optional. Mplayer works 
fine without it.

where can find an inexpensive drive to hold about 1000 cds and find 
the time do all the converting? ㋡
