No problem. Whats confusing you here is that you don't "mount" audio CDs to play them. Audio CDs don't have a filesystem (like ISO 9660), so you have to work at a somewhat lower level with the CD-ROM drive to play the CD. In FreeBSD there are many gui tools in the ports tree that let you do this. cdcontrol(1) is a very nice cli utility that comes with FreeBSD. Usually you just need to run "cdcontrol play" to play an audio CD. _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre corperation.
