We went through this same discussion several months ago when I had a similar difficulty. (BTW, it went away again as suddenly and inexplicably as it came.) Now, I get an icon on the desktop labeled "Audio Disc" with, among other things, an option to mount the volume. It doesn't auto-play because I have that disabled, and I can't use software to eject it unless I mount it, but aside from that, it works fine. Sound Juicer can't read the tracks unless I mount it, and doesn't find the track info, but I think that's a problem with the specific CD. Yes, in the strictest sense audio CDs don't really mount, but the system (or maybe the DE) does something with them that allows you to use them as though they were, and it generally calls it mounting. For most of us, it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck so we see no reason not to call it a duck. There was a time when I'd have agreed that we shouldn't call it "mounting," but I've learned[1] over the years that most people don't want to know about the messy details that some of us[2] love so much, they just want it to work. [1]I hate to keep throwing out all that tech support experience I have[3], but this time it's relevant. [2]Including me, I'll admit. [3]For those coming in late, 7.5 years at an ISP, plus several months at another company where I demonstrated why I don't normally do hardware support. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
