I am running Fedora 5 on my test system. I inserted a music CD on the
Fedora 5 system. It began playing the CD using Totem 1.3.92. However,
I cannot access files on the CD. Mount shows "automount." There is
nothing in the /mnt or /media directories.
Music cd's are not file system related, and you cannot "mount" an audio
cd. In fact, if you can, its in all probability one of the sony/bmg
things that has the rootkit on it, rigged to auto-install in windows
without asking you. Do NOT ever insert it in a windows machine or it
will be an infected machine thats very difficult to clean.
That said, I'm partial to 'grip' for making audio files from the cd, and
I normally make 'ogg' files at about Q7 quality, which to these old
ears, cannot be told from the original cd when playing, but which take
maybe 10% of the cd's storage space on your hard drive. Once you have
those, then its a simple matter of writing a script that executes on the
error condition being detected.
What is the best way to create an audio file on Fedora and play it using
either (1) a C program (preferably), or (2) the shell command line?
What is the best program and associated file type to accomplish this
under Fedora?
