   Something's up. It happens here too on Current.

   Using VLC (Media -> Open Disc, CD) I don't get that message but it seems   
   to stutter now and then. I can't tell if it's the system or the   
   recording (it's The Germs - the recording is choppy and rough as-is). I   
   don't have any other physical CDs left at this time.   
      
   OP couldn't hear the music at all if he was not in the correct group to   
   access the CD device file so that's not it.   
      
   It might be a good idea to take this to LQ (if you have an account) so   
   the rest of the Slackware crew can look at it.
