I have a bunch of audio cds I want to copy over to my phone however 9 out of 10 wont mount. Im tried manually mounting but dont think Im doing it right. My fstab looks like this on 2010.2: # Entry for /dev/sda5 : UUID=0872e67d-8dc4-489c-9dc7-bbf8202207fa / ext3 relatime 1 1 # Entry for /dev/sda1 : UUID=68e2b94e-f8ff-44f1-8b22-7bc629d67afa /home ext3 relatime 1 2 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,exec,flush 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 # Entry for /dev/sdb1 : UUID=60017260-d213-486e-afa6-7081557baedd /var ext3 defaults 1 2 # Entry for /dev/sdb5 : UUID=c0aa6db5-7b00-4bea-aed3-c241b19e9c33 swap swap defaults 0 0 My mtab whenever a cd does mount looks like this: /dev/sda5 / ext3 rw,relatime 0 0 none /proc proc rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /home ext3 rw,relatime 0 0 none /tmp tmpfs rw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /var ext3 rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 /var/lib/authdaemon /var/spool/postfix/var/lib/authdaemon none rw,bind 0 0 /proc /var/lib/named/proc none rw,bind 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/CDROM iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=500,gid=500,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500 0 0 of course whenever I unmount the cd the mtab entry goes away. Ive tried using # mount /dev/CDROM or /dev/sr0 but keep getting asked for file type. I added iso9660 to the line as shown in the man page but I must be doing it wrong. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Saw you followup about seeing contents when mounted in a Micro$oft OS.

I can only guess that a winders plugin knows how to display audio contents.

If whatever.mp3 were dragged to cdrom on winders, then it may have still created an audio cd. It might help if you described how the cd was created.

I know I can mount my dvd partition, copy files into it, then have k3b create the iso, burn iso to media, and be able to read it by doing a mount /cdrom because my fstab has /dev/cdrom /cdrom auto umask=0,ro,user,dev,noatime,noauto,unhide,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom is linked to /dev/sr0.

I can even link dvd.iso to an iso and mount it at /dvd because fstab has /local/spare/dvd.iso /dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide,exec,loop=/dev/loop0 0 0

A few years back I downloaded a bunch of music files from the binary newsgroups. They are in mp3 format and I burned them directly to cd.

I just now cleaned the data connector on the drive to see if that makes any difference. Just checked with an old Knoppix cd and it loaded fine.

So that may rule out the drive.

22/02/2012 19:52 - Hmm, I thought an audio cd did not have a file system in linux speak. :) Any time I have problems figuring out what is needed I use -t auto inthe mount command.

Do not use /media/cdrom.

Just for fun, try the following: su - rootmkdir /cd mount -t auto /dev/sr0 /cd If successful, try mount | grep /sr0to get the file system type.
