Shouldn't you have your /dev/sr0 somewhere in fstab?
Try removing '#' from the line w/ your cd or dvd device.

/dev/cdrom             /media/cd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

psyodin · 2010-05-02 11:54:48

thank you for the reply, however that didnt help

from what i have read all the commented lines in fstab should be that way, not sure about sr0, however every other disc media mounts and works, just not the audio cd's which i believe i read are not actually mounted except by xine or vlc etc....meh sometimes i feel like i know enough to get in trouble but not enough fix it.

karol · 2010-05-02 12:05:23

'abcde -d /dev/sr0 -o flac' runs fine here

psyodin · 2010-05-02 12:18:54

$ abcde -d /dev/sr0 -o flac
cd-discid: /dev/sr0: CDROMREADTOCHDR: No medium found
[ERROR] abcde: CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?

and just in case

# abcde -d /dev/sr0 -o flac
cd-discid: /dev/sr0: CDROMREADTOCHDR: No medium found
[ERROR] abcde: CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?

i have a dual boot, just replicated my the results on windows XP,

can a dvd/cd drive not play mp3's but everything else? like a hardware problem?

karol · 2010-05-02 13:23:00

> can a dvd/cd drive not play mp3's but everything else?
Audio CD doesn't have a file system, so you don't have mp3's in there. Are you trying to play a data CD w/ mp3s w/o mounting it?
What happens if you try a regular CD - the one you can buy in a store and play on your hi-fi?

psyodin · 2010-05-02 13:27:01

it has been with store bought cd's

one cd did work however it had some video on it and .sfw files, thus a different type of file

regular ol audio cd's do not work

psyodin · 2010-05-02 13:38:23

inserted blank cd

k3b would let me burn a data cd, but if i try to burn a wave or audio cd it acts if i have not inserted a blank cd yet.

thunar does recognize the blank cd and asks what i would like to do with it.

karol · 2010-05-02 13:41:45

Maybe the audio CDs employ some DRM scrambling? Can you play them on a hi-fi / discman? Can you try playing them on another computer?

I'm sorry, I'm running out of ideas: it may be a problem w/ the CDs or w/ your drive but I don't really understand how can you watch movies then?

psyodin · 2010-05-02 18:40:27

well this morning i tried a different cd then cd's. now i was trying 2 random, apparently non damaged cd's last night and they did not work. the one i try this morning works!

however the 2 that didnt work on my arch last night will play on a different computer of ubuntu flavor.

2 things here: i cant believe i randomly grabbed 2 audio cd's last night that didnt work...out of 100's that apparently do. i cant believe one linux OS works and the other does not with those 2. so thanks for help, still kinda confused though.

> however the 2 that didnt work on my arch last night will play on a different computer of ubuntu flavor.
I had a similar problem on Windows a couple years ago. Linux distros are quite different (Ubuntu <-> Arch), but WinXp shouldn't be.
On my WinXp the CD was "invisible", but five or six other people had no problems with it - and they were using WinXp on they computers too.

Such is life :-)

Make sure the CDs you are trying are Red Book compliant. There has been a lot of crap on the market with all sorts of DRM to prevent illegal copying. A lot of the software will emulate a standard audio CD but this only works on Windows (and Mac).

psyodin · 2010-05-13 07:40:44

thanks all for the help, if i have to ill just "nicotine" the tunes i cant rip, since i own them already i dont really feel bad about it

such is life

i love my new arch box tho woo hoo!

Arch Linux
