Mounting audio CD's in FC3

acidblue · 02-05-2005, 05:39 PM

Has anyone been able to mount audio CD's in FC3?
CDFS is too old dosn't work with newer kernels over 2.3.
And AudioFS is aslo too old hasn't been updated since kernel 2.2.
Any workarounds or suggestions?

you don't mount audio CD, put it in the tray and open it with
whatever media player you want..........noatumn, kaboodle, etc

That dosen't work, otherwise I wouldn't be asking.
I get a "can't read superblock " error or somthing simular.
I was told to download and install 'CDFS' and 'AudioFS'.
But like I said they are too old, and don't work with newer kernels.
So.....maybe i should have asked-How do you play audio
CD's in FC3, becuase just putting in the CD and opening xmms
isn't working.

It's simple to play CD's on Fedora Core, just make sure your CD player app knows which drive to use and give yourself read permissions to that drive or put yourself in the audio and cdrom groups (disk group on some systems).

Edit: I can just chmod and set read & write permissions for other users right? (I thought it'd be better to post in this thread, rather than make another on the same topic)

Quick question: what is the b for at the beginning of this line?

b stands for "block device", meaning that it it's a hardware device from and to which data is transferred in blocks on more than 1 byte. Another type is the "character device" from and to which data is transferred in blocks of 1 byte.
