You can't mount a music CD in linux, no matter how you try.
There's no support for said filesystem (and, as I understand, the way
windows does it is a *ugly* hack, and we all know how Linus feels about
those). So...it's not a bug, it's normal.

Seen that before, mostly with floppy drives....it means the
device is dieing and doing stupid things...his CD is about to give up,
that's the real problem.

Think of the Linux community as a niche economy isolated by its beliefs.
Kind of like the Amish, except that our religion requires us to use
_higher_ technology than everyone else.
