Show files on CD in Thunar or Rox Filer

This used to work but no longer does.

I need to copy songs from my CDs to my hard drive so I can convert them to mp3s.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#    Display content of CD or DVD

#

#    

#

# Help from rcrsn51,Flash,michaelk,01micko,

#

cd_chk=$( cddetect_quick -d /dev/sr0 )

 

  if [[ $cd_chk == "no disc" ]]; then

    echo "No CD/DVD in drive !!"

    gxmessage -timeout 2 "    NO CD/DVD IN DRIVE !!"

    exit

  fi

 

  if [[ $cd_chk == "disc inserted" ]]; then

    echo "CD/DVD is in drive."

    mkdir -p /mnt/sr0

    mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/sr0

    thunar /mnt/sr0/

    

  fi

Audio CDs do not have a file system and so your script fails because they can not be mounted. Some file managers depending on desktop can show the CD as tracks using a virtual file system. I do not think thunar has this capability.

Audio CDs can not be "copied". You need to use an encoding program commonly known as a ripper to save them as wav, mp3 etc. pcdripper, asunder and ripperx are a few encoding applications for puppy. I have not used any of them so I can not say how well they work.

thanks.

I used cdparanoia to copy the files.

And Audacity to convert them to mp3s.
