If you have a normal data CD

Submitted by pinniped on Sun, 2006-08-06 21:14.

If you have a normal data CD with MP3, you can mount that. If you have an audio CD, you don't mount it unless you have something like "CDFS" loaded. If you want to read info from an audio CD, use cdparanoia - if you want to play it, just use a player - no need to mount.

playing an audio CD

ok, I've searched the net, found out that you cannot mount an audio CD, you just put it in the drive and "use" the player. That looks straightforward. But here is my question. If I don't mount the CD how can I open it in a player? What file should I open? The catalogue /dev/hdc in my case is empty, the one that should be connected with the device (/media/cdrom0) the same. What should I type in. I am using the totem and have Debian 2.6.15.2 ("sid").
could someone help, I would really like to listen to that cd...

play disc

For me, there is an item in the "Movie" menu of totem called "Play Disc 'cdrom drive'".

Is it audio or data?

If the disc is a normal music CD, you don't mount it. The CD playing tools won't be able to find it. If it's a disc of MP3s, though, that's considered data and has to be mounted, and the audio software will need to be directed to where the files are.

Konqueror has this neat feature where the tracks of music CDs appear as files, and you have lots of options what to do with them. Don't get confused, though: Konqueror makes it look a lot simpler than it is!

Now there is bad news. Your system doesn't seem to be able to read the disc at all. I have a feeling your music 'CD' isn't actually a CD -- its a bastardised mixed data/music concoction designed to be unreadable to computer CD drives. There are ways around these things, but I haven't successfully managed it. Try googling for 'CD crack copy protection' Be aware that doing this may be illegal in some jurisdictions (ie anywhere the DMCA and its FTA offspring live).

Such discs aren't, strictly speaking, CDs, because they purposefully break the official CD specification. One way to tell if the CD's legit is to look for the little 'CD' logo on the disc. If it's not there it probably means that it doesn't meet the spec.

Funnily enough, the 'technology' relies on CD drives being too smart, and normal audio CD players are so dumb they simply don't even realise they're supposed to be confused.

About mounting...

Submitted by cammoblammo on Thu, 2006-11-02 04:37.

I forgot to answer your question!

If you have a disc full of MP3s that you want to play, you have two possible options. On my system cdroms are mounted on /cdrom -- on more recent systems they (apparently) live at /media/cdrom. Tweak as necessary.

If you have fstab set up properly this should work:

mount /cdrom

Failing that, become root and try:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom

HTH

pmount

Submitted by jamei on Thu, 2006-11-02 08:34.

it is more secure to use "pmount", as you don't need to become root. not that it makes much difference (you know your root password anyway)

actually, i remember it does make a difference - as the user you will automatically get read permissions for the drive with pmount. With mount (as root), it is more complicated.

> pmount /dev/cdrom cdrom

or cdrom0. whatever.
