If you take the comment out of context, which you did not, then that would appear to be the case. However, you left the quote in context, and I obviously was refering to music cds, and their complete lack of filesystem data. Let's see what a filesystem has, in a very basic way: It has files, and ways of referencing those files. Let's see what a music cd has, in a very basic way: It has a stream of data, and a way of indexing that data. They might look the same, but a music cd has no *reliable* way of extracting the information. A data CD, however, has checksum and tracking information on it. These are *very* different beasts. If a music CD had a filesystem, we would not need cdparanoia to get reliable rips. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
