Yes, exactly,

but why? why doesn't Ubuntu recognize the insertion of the CD.  I had already tried a DVD I want to use to learn Quebecois French, and it didn't recognize that either, and this morning I tried, as you suggested, inserting a CD that isn't music, it's an audio book CD of Margaret Atwood, and it made absolutely no impression whatsoever either.  Nada.  But it was doing this "recognition" perfectly before the upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, so what has to be done to fix it?  Can it be fixed?  

Thank you for your response!

> Bug description:
> When the upgrade for Ubuntu 9.10 was offered, I thought I was expected to allow it to run, I am rather new at this stuff.  It took all afternoon last Sunday, a week ago, and since then I have encountered several unfamiliar problems.  The most disturbing is that the Rhythmbox no longer contains, in the side pane, the option "Unknown" which I was able to play my inserted CD's by clicking, once I had inserted one in the computer mechanism for that.  At that time, the computer monitor would also display a small window telling me that it had noticed that I had inserted a CD and asking if I wished to use Rhythmbox to listen to it.  I would then click "okay" and it would disappear that window and open Rhythmbox.  At first I didn't know what to do, and it took some trial and error to figure out, but I found that if I clicked on "Unknown" the computer would oblige my wish to listen to the CD by listing all of the tracks and that then when I clicked on "Play" it would oblige me even further by doing so.  I was very happy to discover how to do this, but now there is no item "Unknown" listed, and therefore, having tried everything I can find to click on, and to no avail, I am at my wits end, as I cannot listen to my CD's at all.  HELP!  please?

I tried to figure out what is wanted for information, but most of what I've read is beyond my vocabulary, computer-wise, which is limited still.  I am trying, but much is assumed, and it is hard to figure out where to learn it from.  Please try to help me get my CD's to play.
