I have searched google and this forum but no answers. The problem is simple. Copy an audio CD. It should be simple mkisofs /dev/sr0 /blah/blah.iso bam done. But no... So, please someone give me the magic word.
I tried with k3b but I can't do anything with the iso it created. I try mount -o loop -t iso9660 blah.iso /mnt/iso but then it tells me it's the wrong file system bad superblock on loop0. I tried to open it with xmms and amarok but nothing happens.
If you want to create an identical audio CD, use the "copy" function of K3B. You cannot mount a normal audio CD, neither the original nor the copy. But the copy will be playable in a normal CD player.
Use cdrdao to make an exact copy of an audio cd or to extract a .bin and .cue. Note that you CANNOT mount an audio CD, it has no filesystem, and no you can't create a .iso out of it because iso = iso9660 = filesystem.
