??? playing cd's in cdplayer ???

["Rich Hartman" <rehartma@artsci.wustl.edu>]

Hello everybody,

I just got my cdrom setup by modifying my fstab file (thanks for the 
help!) so that it is user-mountable... Now I can mount it and read a 
data-type cd... However, when I try to mount it when an audio cd is 
in, it says it's not a proper filesystem (which I guess it's not...) 
but if it's not mounted, how can i use a cdplayer program to listen 
to the cd... when the drive is not mounted, i get a message saying 
that the cdrom is unaccessable...

On a similar note - I'm running hamm, and I have a Soundblaster Awe64 
(PnP) and a plug'n'play BIOS... during setup, I vaguely recall 
picking a soundblaster driver (does this seem possible?)... If I just 
want to listen to cds and .wav files or mpeg3 files, should I have to 
recompile the kernel and all of that other harsh stuff described in 
the sound HOWTO?


Thanks in advance,

Rich
