Perhaps cddafs has died?
Authored by: Anonymous on May 03, '01 06:54:15PM

cddafs.fs is the Filesystem bundle that knows how to read Audio CDs. Perhaps it got messed up. Check its modification date, and see if it's more recent than your latest system update. It shouldn't have been changed, but it might have.

I don't know what you could do if it IS messed up...

if the cddafs file is messed up, you could replace it with a copy. "A copy from where?" you ask. Good question. I had to perform a similar such manuver and installed X on to another drive i had.

Personally, I beleive if there is a Norton Utilities specifically for X, it will scan your drive to make sure that all these files your system is dependant on are in the right place, not corrupt, and with the right privs. I know running this would make me feel better about my system.

cddafs.fs was modified "yesterday"; WELL AFTER the installation of the 10.0.2 update (although this problem started BEFORE the 10.0.2 installation)

how can I fix it? is there a bootable system folder on the install disk that I could replace it with, like OS9?

and yes I can mount other media, zips (through an external scsi drive with a bluenote pci card), application cds, data cdr, cdrw, etc...just not MUSIC!

thanks in advance for your help
