Why can't I mount Audio CD's?

jconover · Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2003 2:12 pm Post subject: Why can't I mount Audio CD's?

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0

That's in my /etc/fstab.

I have NO problem mounting data cd's, vcd's.

Put my audio cd's wont mount?

Is there a different file system I need?

you are not supposed to mount cdda, to play it use some software, in xmms, install the cdda input plugin and set your cdrom device and mount point, then, you enter that dir and press add all files from dir and it should read the traks.

Thanks,

I'm feeling pretty STUPID.

I put the CD in, started XMMS, choose DIR /mnt/cdrom & BAM it started playing.

Moderator, please delete this post for lack of early morning brain power by me. :oops:

Thanks again krusty_ar

Just in case anyone's interested, a patch actually does exist that is supposed to allow you to mount an audio cd. It's included in The JP kernel patches.

Having said that, I couldn't get it to work. Whenever I attempted to enable it, compilation would fail so I don't know what it looks like :roll:

OK its probably has been covered lots earlier on another post, but its this sort of snippet thats invaluable, to other newbies alike. I also assumed id need to mount the CD to get audio to mount...
