The issue is that I cannot access audio cds on my cdrom drive. I'd like to rip the music stored on this Groove Armada disc, and/or play it directly from the drive. I usually use xmms to play music and grip for ripping. I have not succeeded at making either of them access the music cd. xmms does not give much feedback. Grip provides a popup message: "Error: Unable to initialize [/dev/cdrom]". (/dev/cdrom is indeed a symlink to /dev/hdc on my system.) In the past I have been able to easily access this drive with both of those applications, on an older system. I built a new system and just pulled this drive out of the old one. I'll look into it more tomorrow. In the meantime any suggestions or comments are of course appreciated.

Is there a reason for someone wanting to mount an audio CD? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No doubt that's been debated long and hard in the past. Trying different media, it looks like only audio CDs (Groove Armada and Dirty Vegas albums, to be exact) cause the error messages. I was able to mount a Knoppix CD no problem. Audio CDs don't usually have an ISO9660 filesystem on them. -- Keith Edmunds +-+ | Tiger Computing Ltd | Helping businesses make the most of Linux | | "The Linux Company" |http://www.TheLinuxConsultancy.co.uk | +-+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: cannot mount cdrom! - a clue
Offlist, Keith Edmunds suggested that I try different media. I tried another disc, and it worked fine. Trying different media, it looks like only audio CDs (Groove Armada and Dirty Vegas albums, to be exact) cause the error messages. I was able to mount a Knoppix CD no problem. I must go to work now, so I'll be back on the list in about 10 hours.
