music cd's

[Whitley CTR Cecil H]

Hi,
Do you mount music cd's differently from data cd's?  If so, what type do you
use?
Thanks,
Cecil

you cant mount audio cd's unless you have the cdfs module installed. 
if you have that installed when you mount an audio cd all the tracks 
show up as wav files. it's actually quite kewl.
but if you don't have that and I forget the url you can use something 
like workbone to play audio cds.On Thu, Nov 20, 2003 at 04:22:24PM

Hi, Alex. Come to think about it, CD's should be mounted as Wav files on
other operating systems to start with.  That's what they essentially
are--standard Redbook audio.

You can mount them as wav under windows also with the cdfs driver for 
windows from the same page as the one for linux. though that should be 
built-in feature to the os.

In the versions of Windows that I've seen, you can view the tracks as .cda 
files, but they are only 44 bytes long and presumably only contain header 
information.

CD tracks are actually very similar to wav files, but not the same.  .wav 
files almost always have a riff format header which cd audio tracks 
lack.  Also, cd audio tracks are limited to being 44.1KHZ 16 bits and 
stereo.  .wav files have no such limitations.  Just in case it matters to 
anyone. <g>

Re: music cd's

[Geoff Shang]

Hi:

CD tracks are actually raw, headerless PCM data, with the audio in
big-endian byte order, whereas wav files are little-endian.  And has been
said already, CD's must be at 44100Hz, 16-bit stereo.

Geoff.

Hi.  You don't need to mount music CDs.  you just stick the cd in the
drive and start your cd player.  I use cdcd for my cd player.  I'm sure
others will mention their favorite players.
