Okay, I rebuilt kdemultimedia and now have a kaudiocreator app. :) Seems I can open and close the drive tray, both with the hardware button and the menu and toolbar button. I noticed that kaudiocreator is horribly slow to respond when busy. Horribly. Like the app can't multitask. During those times I am unable to open or close the drive tray. I found no way to halt the ripping process once started. Darrell
