I may be missing the point of your question here and apologize if I am, but I shall dive in anyway. I am an enthusiastic Fluxbox fan and have used it quite happily with Slackware, Ubuntu, and Debian.

Thanks but perhaps I forgot to mention that Xfce is on Suse 11.2 and not on Linux Mint. AFAIR I opened thunar but didn't find any indication for the Audio CD and fdisk also doesn't show anything.
Any help?

Your initial post was about VCD, not audio CDs. The former have a file-system, and the media can
be mounted, the latter don't, and can't.

I didn't know that Audio and Video CDs are treated differently, thanks for ALL the information, so what I supposed to do in case of Audio CD, how to make them show up somewhere when I need to copy from them?
