Re: copy

Lars,

Audio CD's don't have a mountable filesystem, so you can't mount them.
What you need to do is extract the audio from the CD's and save them as
WAV files on your computer. This is called "ripping" and there are many
programs available to do this for you. (search for "cd ripper" on
google, I use grip and cdparanoia).

Now you said you want to copy these files to another CD. If you want to
make an audio cd, then you have to have an appropriate program again to
do that. (If you have two cdrom drives, you can have the computer
directly make a copy from one to the other). 

If you want to make a data CD with audio, you can create an iso file
with the appropriate files (I'd suggest converting the wav's to mp3's or
ogg's), and write the iso file.

Search on google for some faqs on this process, as it is beyond the
scope of this list. Good luck.
