   from a terminal:   
      
   sudo cp /media/cdrom/*.ogg /home/username/Desktop/   
   sudo chown username:usergroup /home/username/Desktop/*.ogg   
      
   Where username is your user name, usually the user group is just the user   
   name repeated (william:william for me). Of course the path to the mounted   
   CD-Rom drive may be different for you.
