audiocd:\ where in file system?

[aal]

Hi!

A few days ago I updated my system from kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 3.? to kubuntu 10.10 with KDE4.5. I've been pretty happy about it until some hours ago.
I used to use dBpoweramp (launched by wine) to rip CDs and I want to keep doing it that way. Therefore one has to assign the mount point of audio cds to a certain device letter (wine/windows wants it this way) to be able to use the cd drive within dBpoweramp.
audiocd:/ doesn't work. /media/cdrom/ which I used in kubuntu 8.04 doesn't work either, because audio cds are not mounted there anymore. Can anyone tell me where in the file system I can find the content of my audio cds? Where exactly is audiocd:/?

Hehe good question, I've used Linux for many years and this is indeed strange.

The audio CD immediately shows up in Dolphin but the path is just advertised as >audiocd:
Various players do see the CD and play it.

Anyhow when you run this command you'll know 8)

wodim --devices

For ripping I would use the build-in options of Dolphin but K3B works fine as well, for me no need what so ever to run something in wine.

Maybe it's possible to manually mount /dev/sr0 to a fixed point.

A lot has changed since 8.04. Cd's are usually mounted automatically under /media/<DISK OR DEVICE NAME>

You can always manually mount them anywhere you want.

However, you might consider exploring the newer options available to you to perform this task...

Re: audiocd:\ where in file system?

Thanks for your answers.
I just figured out a way to make it work. In wine's configuration there is a button to autodetect drives that I just never used. When I did it worked even thou I don't see the difference to what I put in manually.
Maybe I will try out K3B at some point, but so far dBpoweramp has covered everything I want in a good ripping program better than any other program I tried.

Well, you jumped from 8.04/KDE3.10 (both dead) into a brave new world! Since you're flying - why not stretch your wings and dump the microslop world all together? 8)

There are more choices than k3b also, of course.

Curious: I assumed you stuck with 8.04 for this long because it was LTS and supported until end of life: next month. What made you want to try 10.10 rather than 10.04LTS?

Feel free to tell me to bugger off or ignore me if you don't want to say.

Re: audiocd:\ where in file system?

Well, actually I did try 9.04 or 9.10, but I had trouble with the networkmanager. Back then I was absolutely new to Linux and didn't want to bother with that problem. So, I just moved back to 8.04. Last summer I found a solution for the problem with the networkmanager (wicd solved it). But at that time I didn't want to mess with my working system, because I was working on my diploma thesis. Now that I am all done with my studies I found the time to "jump [...] into a brave new world".

Re: audiocd:\ where in file system?

That makes sense. I think KNetworkManager got better in 10.10 - at least the last install I did it worked fine so I left it alone. Hopefully in 11.04 it'll be even better.

I'm still using 10.04 on my desktop mostly because I spend weeks or months tweaking and setting it up the way I want only to have the latest-and-greatest roll out.

I'm planning on waiting a few weeks after 11.04 and then doing a new install. Really - once a year of the is enough!
