All audio programs that I know of, simply use directly the DEVICE (usually /dev/cdrom) without mounting anything. In fact the mount command requires a file system. To push the analogy a little further, you can read (or write) to a "raw" hard disk partition (e.g. /dev/hda1) but you cannot mount it unless it is properly formatted with some file system known by Linux. Note: the above is just an example, DON'T try to write to "raw" /dev/hda1, the write would work but would likely destroy your existing partition ... -- Jean-Louis Debert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 74 Annemasse France old Linux fan
