A fix for unmountable audio CDs, revisited

I developed a problem recently of not being able to mount Audio CDs in 10.2.6. I tracked it down to something being wrong with the particular user's preferences (i.e. other accounts on the same machine mounted CDs fine), and fixed it by deleting these files from the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder:

CDDB Preferences
CD Info.cidb
then logging out and logging back in. If the CD is already in the drive, you might need to eject it and reinsert after deleting the above. The previous hint from 2001 did not work in my case, so perhaps this new method will help other Jaguar users.
