Well, Derek's comment makes it seem as though this wasn't so odd anyway, but 
it wasn't something I've used before.

That command is intended to add your username to the disk group.  I don't know 
what distribution you're using, so I just went with the Debian answer.  
Otherwise, KDE has a User/Group Manager program (KUser in the System menu).  
Or you can edit /etc/group manually, I suppose as well.

I have another "just for grins" method to try.  In the programs menu, go to 
System, More Applications, and File Manager (Super User Mode).  This will 
prompt you for the root password and open Konqueror as root.  Try the 
audiocd:/ link from there.  If it works as root, then we know it's a 
permissions issue.  If it doesn't, then it's a configuration issue.
