That's odd.... I've got 2 DVD readers in Master-slave on the same ide 
cable. If I put a data disk into either, I get the "recently connected 
devices" window but neither react to a music disc....  And, like you, I 
can navigate through the disk.  (One disk I tried is from a Linux 
magazine, & IIRC it should autostart.   It doesn't & clicking on the 
autostart.sh does nothing -- should it????).  And it appears that I 
can't right-click on the disks to get a context menu; both right & left 
click open the device or file from the r"recently connected" window.  In 
"places" right click allows me to eject, release or hide the CD - Maybe 
we're not seeing the device, only the disc loaded into the device????
