CD Audio Redhat

[skiflyer]

Ok, so I installed RedHat, then I installed the XMMS rpm.

I can put in an MP3 CD and play the songs off that just fine.

Then I put in an audio CD, and it doesn't auto mount, so I try

mount /dev/cdrom

and I get

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems

Anyone have any idea the fix on this one?

Thanks,
Rob

You cannot mount an audio CD as it is not in the iso9660 format.

At most you can only play it. If you put it in and it plays fine, there is no problem. Thats about all you can really do with an audio CD.

The only other way around it is to copy the contents of the CD to a FAT32 partition whilst you are in Windows. The files will then be accessible from the partition when you are back in Linux and have mounted the partition.

Ok, so how do I play it? Putting it in isn't enough

Just put it in an open your CD player. It should pick up that there is a CD in there and play it. Works with me (on RH9).

But I'm saying that's not enough. Does anyone know which packages are necessary for CD Audio?

which commands you mean?
try "cdp" or "cdplay" for console mode;
xcdplayer kscd (KDE) cdplayer applet for GNOME.
This is Linux! You have options....
