That doesn't work eithr. When I put a CD it gets mounted as follows:

/dev/sdb1            732572000 105165860 627406140  15%
/media/4852CCA352CC975A

But when I run abcde -d /dev/sdb1 I get the following:

cd-discid: /dev/sdb1: open: Permission denied
[ERROR] abcde: CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?

Hmm,permission enied that is interestig:

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 2012-12-22 17:05 /dev/sdb1

So, i am thinkling that I should be accessing it sing the group
permisssion, so in /etc/group I put:

disk:x:6:stan

My user id is stan

group

cdrom:x:24:haldaemon,stan,mythtv,test

Puzzling, anyoune have any ides?

PS it works on a desktop that I just built with 12.10, so it has to be
something about the way the install went on the laptop, I think.
