Hi All,

Mohamed, what Michael is saying, is, perhaps you have a terminal that is 
at /media/cdrecorder, type pwd to check this, and due to this, the CD 
won't eject. If this is the case, just type cd and press enter, and then 
type eject, or right click the icon and choose eject. That should allow 
you to remove the media from the player. Cheers.
