Mounting, in computer science, is the process of making a file system ready for use by the operating system, typically by reading certain index data structures from storage into memory ahead of time.
So, the process of mounting deals specifically with and requires a file system. A blank CD does NOT have a file system, neither does an audio CD. Thus, an audio CD MUST be ripped NOT mounted. In some cases movie DVDs must also be ripped when they too do not contain a file system.
Wow ... and there it is ... Rip .. Not mount. I knew there was a reason to post
here. And thank you all for your input/replies. And although I doin't 'google'
I do (as an ex-DECie) Altavista searches. I was searching the wrong ( mount CD-RW )
subject. I will now search "ripping" and see..
Thank you all for pointin' me in the right direction,
Uhm, you can't ripp data to the CD, you ripp it to extract data from the CD.
Now, lets call a shovel a shovel. You want to burn a CD, right?
There are plenty of tools to to so. You could use the commandline to burn a CD.
Read the manpages for mkisofs, cdrecord, cdrdao, dd, and more.
or you could use graphical programs. I find k3b really good to burn cd/dvd.
