Re: CDROM Question
Hi Terrence, I've burned a CD which contains a bunch of mp3s. When I put the disc into the CD/DVD drive I'm able to cd /mnt/cdrom and browse the disc. When I put an audio CD that I have purchased (Led Zeppelin II) into the CD/DVD drive and try to do the same thing I get this in Konsole Mandrake is automounting the CD for you, but you cannot mount an audio CD. Data CD's contain file-system information much like hard-disks. There are HFS CD's, ISO, Joliet etc. There are also audio cd's, but you cannot mount them like file-systems. I think the data [and error correction in particular] on them is done differently. If you want to listen to it use any number of cdplaying linux applications, if you want to copy the audio use a cdburning/ripping application or go commandline with cdparanoia. If you use KDE then kscd is the kde cd-player. xplaycd, xmms etc are alternatives. For ripping of audio tracks into wav/mp3/ogg files then look at something like grip (X-based), lame, oggtools etc. HTH, Q.

bash: cd: cdrom: Input/output error

hdc: command error: status = 0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

I've tried doing this as root and as a normal user and get the same response.
Any ideas?
Yes, Audio CDs can't be mounted and browsed via mozilla. Other OSes
pretend to mount them and show the tracks as files but Linux doesn't
do any such thing. Use some of the CD players that are available to
play the audio cd.
