Ripping Cd's

quietguy47 · 01-18-2005, 02:09 PM

When I try ripping cd's to the hard drive, I get an error saying "access to /dev/cdrom denied"(even as root). I tried using kaudiocreator and konqueror to rip the tracks(recently installed amarok).
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
My laptop specs:
Gateway 7405gx
amd 64 3200
multi-format burner(dvd+- rw/cd-rw)
Thank You

Silly question, it is mounted, isn't it?

quietguy47 · 01-18-2005, 02:26 PM

I tried mounting the drive but with a regular music cd in it i get the error "bad fs type....".

Can you post your fstab file?

leonscape · 01-18-2005, 02:50 PM

You can't mount Audio CD's thats a red herring.

Do you have a /dev/cdrom device file?

usually its just a symlink to a the actual device say /dev/hdc If you don't have this symlink you can use

cd /dev
ln -s hdc cdrom

quietguy47 · 01-18-2005, 03:09 PM

It will play dvd's, it will mount and read data cd's, play music cd's(no sound though(no DAE)), the only thing it won't do is rip cd's.
It(cdrom) appears in the /etc/fstab and in the /dev file.

leonscape · 01-18-2005, 03:18 PM

So its there, hmm.
what does ls -l /dev/cdrom give? ( if its a symlink what ls -l of the device it points too).

In Konq does audiocd:/ list the tracks on the CD?

Try this at the command line

Code:

cdparanoia -B

make sure you are in your home directory or the directory where you want to rip the CD to. If you've mounted the CD and entered that directory you'll obviously have a problem writing files there.

After cdparanoia has done its thing you can play the resulting wav files or convert them to smaller mp3 or ogg format files. See

Quote:

man oggenc

for details.

Can you do it from the command line?

How about CD copying, ripping and burning? I can't figure it out.

Hmm. I have a similar problem to the OP - even from the command line I cannot rip audio tracks, but I can read data cds in the drive:

As you can see above, trying as root makes no difference - any ideas please?

What kernel are you running?

uname -r

What modules are loaded?

cat /proc/modules

Also relevant line from my lilo.conf:

I can definitely both read and burn data CDs in both drives (and the same applies to DVDs in the NEC drive)

Thanks for any light you can shed... after getting Wine working I thought I had everything nailed down until I tried to rip a couple of CDs the other day!

Oh, swaret --update && swaret --upgrade -a reports all packages are up to date (using version=current in swaret.conf)
