Grip produces an error message:
/dev/cdrom is usually a symbolic link to the real device, e.g. on my
system:
$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Apr 27 12:21 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
That's what you need to check first. Since the automount thing is
working, see what physical drive is mounted on /media/<whatever>. Note
that you my need to unmount it (but not eject it) for the ripping apps
to be able to access it directly. Alternatively, start the app before
inserting the disc.
