Unable to mount music cd's??

CragStar · 03-04-2001, 03:47 PM

I can mount any cd, apart from one which is a music album! This is really beginning to bug me now. Does anyone know why this is? I used to have supermount in my /etc/fstab file, but when I changed things around to be able to manually mount, I was not able to access music cds!!

If anyone can remember what the config is for supermount too, I would much appreciate it.

And the line for the cd drive is:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user

I had always thought that music was iso9660?

I'm pretty sure that you can't mount a music CD as they don't have a real filesystem. Are you able to play cds?

This is the thing, I am pretty sure that before I COULD access music cds, with the supermount option. Now I cant. I have read that there is an extension for the iso9660 format which includes more information about the files on a CD. Is this a format which needs to be compiled (although it has the same extension according to Running Linux book)?

I dont recall ever being able to mount music cd's,even with supermount(I only used it for 2 days)As far as iso9660 extensions I just recompiled recently and dont remember seeing anything new in the fs section for this.The only thing new id the UDF support and I dont even know how new that is,it just caught my eye.

I have been searching around the web and have found that it appears you cannot mount music cdroms. It must have been a figment of my imagination. However, it does appear that you can listen to them anyway? Wierd. I will try it tonite when I get home from college.

Thanks for the info
