In most cases, probably all cases, the player cannot handle an unmounted disc, it expects the operating system to have done that for it. There's another feature I forgot, with various players the "play disc" feature can play an ISO file of a disc. Which is handy for people who make back-ups of their disc collection, and use their computer as a jukebox (only having one file per disc to contend with). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
