Hi NoOp and everyone,

I'd left this problem alone for a while.  I had found out that it was a 
recognised bug with no solution at the time.  I had wondered whether the 
system mounting audio cds as though they were data cds was connected to 
the problem and it may have been.  Today I inserted an audio cd, it was 
mounted showing wav files and I again got the message in rhythmbox:

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already 
registered

I unmounted it and found I was then able to load the tracks into 
rhythmbox and play them (though I do prefer Audacious).

I then opened Brasero and making sure the source cd remained unmounted, 
I commenced to copy it to another CD.  This was successful.  I am 
listening to it as I type.  (Buck 65 with Symphony Nova Scotia if anyone 
cares.)

However, since my original post, I have upgraded to 9.10 and I note that 
a couple of days ago the updates included a new version of Brasero.   
How far the solving of the problem is due to the upgrading and updating 
and how much due to my workaround, I'm not really sure as yet.

Still, all's well that ends well.  Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Cheers,

Graham
