The important detail you've missed is that the devices are still accessible
only as root. The user (or group) in question requires r/w access to the
generic device for cdparanoia to be able to use it.

Also, setting up groups requires a) group access permissions on the device (eg,
chmod g+rw /dev/sg?) b) proper group ownership of the device (eg, chgrp users 
/dev/sg?) c) proper group membership (eg, users must explicitly be placed in 
the
users group either in /etc/passwd or /etc/group).  Your favorite UNIX 
reference should contain a complete tutorial on managing groups and 
permissions.
