AudioCDs (Store bought type and "Pressed/Stamped") are usually CDA/CDDA format - yes?
They're not ISO-9660 (CD-R/RW), nor UDF (like CD-RW disks you make are), which are mount-able File systems (IFS's in linux). Nor are they whatever file system(s) the newest 'mt fuji' and 'mt ranier' or DVD-RAM specs are..(not certain/familiar with any of these file systems....as of yet) -- I guess they'd be UDF also, but RAM has defect hardware management too, whatever the file system it uses.

In winblows, you usually only get Shortcuts (1kb) to the "tracks" (on "Pressed" AudioCDs) and when viewed/browsed in WinExploder you get the typical Track01, Track02, Track03, etc format (unless there's ID3 tags your software reads as well)....It's only when you go to BURN that AudioCD, that it's Tracks (and their file Sizes can be seen, noticed).

Can you go into some more specifics about that nad ? Surely Linux can (should be able to) extract the data where windblows cannot - perhaps with libdvdcss type libraries, etc ?
