Hi, so the problem CD is just a pure audio CD with no filesystem to mount. Entertainment CD pliayers should have no problem with it. Operating systems and system demons should be able to recognize its state, and thus avoid the futile mount attempts.

I guess you'd need to read the tracks one by one, like cdparanoia -d $drivespec "1-1" track_1.wav cdparanoia -d $drivespec "2-2" track_2.wav and so on up to number 20. cdrskin has an option "extract_audio_to=" which gets the path of a directory after the "=". It will copy all tracks as separate files trackNN.wav into the given directory, which already must exist: cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr1 extract_audio_to="$HOME"/my_cd Maybe entertainment CD players show text on their display. If so, you can extract this info in human readable form by adding cdrskin option cdtext_to_v07t="$HOME"/my_cd/cdtext.v07t to the extraction run (or run cdrskin separately with that option). "v07t" refers to "Sony Input Sheet Version 0.7T" which is the format for submitting CD-TEXT to a CD pressing factory. > I thought it was udf because one of the two systems I > tried it on spewed out a reference to udffs They saw a CD and tried UDF.
