Since shortly after they were introduced.

I believe MS Windows 98 (yes, that long ago) used to present them as > *.WAV-files, Don't know if you've ever used Konqueror, but if you go to the address "audiocd:/", it gives you a load of folders like MP3 and OGG and FLAC, along with a wav file for each track. So you can either copy the files as WAV, or go into one of the folders and copy out MP3, OGG, etc. It's just that Konqueror does the extraction/conversion for you.
Which, from memory, is different that Win98. IIRC, Win98 used to present CDs as 1KB cda files. I could be wrong, though... >> Oh, and I only own a few CDs that have DRM on them.

As soon as I put the CD into the drive, I get the same raft of error messages in /var/log/messages. But when I run 'cdparanoia "1"', it starts outputting to cdda.wav as normal. Now why would cdparanoia work, even though the kernel doesn't seem to like the CD? Does this tell us anything that might help me play the CDs? Jake Moe
