There ya go.  You have to be able to read the device in order to play
the music.  (It will be scd0 and not hdc since the ide-scsi module is
handling it.  In your grup.conf, note where it says "hdc=ide-scsi".  You
won't be able to access hdc, but it will be available as a SCSI device;
in this case, scd0.)  Try running your CD program as root for a test.
if it works, then "chgrp cdrom /dev/scd0 && chmod g+rw /dev/scd0" and
then add yourself to the cdrom group.    Once you log out and log back
in, you should be able to play your music CDs.
