Thanks for your reply.

While I may not intentionally do anything else while burning a CD,
there are many background processes that start and stop at various
times.

It seems safer to me to carefully change the permissions
that one time rather than become root every time I burn a CD
and risk screwing up my entire system because of a typo.
