Audio CDs won't mount for ripping [SOLVED]

I can't figure out how to mount audio CDs. Automount works fine with Thunar for DVDs, audio CDs, and blank CDs (not 100% sure, think so though), but not audio CDs.

Asunder gives me the error can't open device /dev/cdrom
It doesn't automount in Thunar. I can't manually mount it because it doesn't have a filesystem.

meh.

I'm sure someone knows what the hell to do.

Search the forums, couldn't find a solution, so.... :-D

Well, audio CDs can't be mounted. You can try something like cdfs if you need mount-like functionality.

Re: Audio CDs won't mount for ripping [SOLVED]

okay, I found it by random guessing: rr <tab> to rrip_ to rrip_gui.

Not one mention of the command to start the program in the official rubyrip wiki. I just love how developers think everyone has clairvoyant powers of ESP and can "just know" arbitrary commands, like we are born knowing rrip_gui starts rubyrip.

pacman -Ql | grep bin

means you don't need to be clairvoyant .
