Opps, I should have just told you how I do it to begin with.  I can use 
any app, put it is usually xmms.  I config the player to play from 
/dev/acd0 and use digital audio only.  I added a group called cd_access 
that could access and mount drives(cd drives only I think) and made my 
self a group member. I set vfs.usermount = 1 under sysctl.config.  I added

own    /dev/acd0    root:cd_access
perm    /dev/acd0    0770

to devfs.conf.  I set this up when I was much newer to BSD, I think I 
may have the wrong permissions.  Anyone see a problem?  I can also mount 
cds to any dir I own without any su or sudo stuff.  I can also burncds 
to with this set up.  When I was really new I had to run xmms as root to 
get it to play cds, which is why I found this group stuff out so I would 
not need to run xmms as root.

This should be in the handbook, anyone else think so?
