"You don't." Audio CDs don't have filesystems (typically), and so there's no way to mount them. > Currently, I can access the audio cd through /dev/cdrom. Here are > some info about the files.

If you're trying to get the audio data off of the CD, you need a separate program to do that; cdparanoia is the canonical command-line tool. Frequently people who want to do this actually want to produced compressed audio files; I generally use 'abcde' to produce Ogg Vorbis files from my CDs. I think the Debian abcde package depends on everything you need to do this. (It can also be adapted to use certain patent-encumbered formats that you might need if you have a portable audio player, but you need to come up with your own encoder.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
