[SLE] Problem mounting /cdrom for Audio use
I have SuSE 6.4-0.0.0 and I am having a problem mounting my /cdrom for listening to Audio CDs (or ripping from them). I can mount, as a user or root, data CDs just fine. But when I try to mount /cdrom with an audio CD I get a read error in my /var/log/messages, and I get a "bad superblock, wrong FS type.." error in my shell. My fstab looks the same as always: /dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,1,0 (I think, this is from memory). Anyway, I had absolutely no problems in 6.1, but I am assuming something is not quite set up correctly with my new (default) system. I tried mount -t auto /dev/hdc without any luck, I also tried putting auto in my fstab. Any pointers? Thanks!

You don't mount music CDs. They don't have a (proper) filesystem on them. Linux never has done this, and probably never will (although it gets discussed on the kernel lists occasionally). You are clearly a tad confused.

Ok, fine. Then how do I get my machine to play my Audio CDs and rip them into .mp3s?
You are clearly a tad confused.
Yes I am. Perhaps I wasn't mounting my Audio CDs previously, I can't remember (and it was only a week ago). But I do know that wmcdplay used to be able to use my cdrom drive to play CDs and now it cannot. Same thing for cdparanoia. So if Linux can't handle it, why are there so many Cd players and mp3 ripping software programs? I am confused, but all I really want is to be able to play CDs again. :-)

Linux can play audio CDs, and it can pull the data off them. I would suggest you read the CD Howto, which you'll find in /usr/doc/howto/en. However, as you clearly had things working once, you probably know all you need to know about playing CDs. Perhaps you could explain what happens when you try to play a CD: do you get an error message for instance?
