Audio CD mounting problem

[leone25s]

Hi, all,

There is another `question' about mouting audio CDs. As I have read many posts here, most people suggest not to directly mount audio CD. They tend to use CD players like kscd or gnome-cd to play it.

This is fine, but I do want to mount the audio CD. (Not only for ripping the cd, grip is fine to do that.) Could anyone know how to do it?

BTW, I know
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
will work on data CDs and some audio CDs. But I want to know a 'better' solution.

Thanks.

This is not helping much but as I understand it, mounting needs a filesystem which audio CDs don't have, so there is AFAIK no way to mount something that doesn't exist.

Hmm,

I am wondering how the fact comes that some Audio CDs are mounted successfully. Are they burnt with iso9660 format?

And I am wondering how grip and other CD-rippers are able to detect the cd audio track. Does anybody have got some clues?

You can try going with konqueror to audiocd:/ to browse it.
If it can be mounted with iso9660 it's probably burned as a data cd and not an audio cd.


And I am wondering how grip and other CD-rippers are able to detect the cd audio track. Does anybody have got some clues? An audio cd is just raw data with some bits telling where a track starts and ends.
