    How can I find where my CD is mounted?

    hi, I have a music disk in my CD player and I am trying to locate it with Audacious music player so that I can load the files in. I can't find where the CD is mounted. I have looked everywhere and I can't find it. The /cdrom folder is empty and I can't find it under /media. What do I need to do to see where it is mounted?

    Thanks

    Is your CD Player connected by USB?

    Run:

    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l

    No, it is an internal CD

    all sudo fdisk -l shows is my 2 harddrives i have hooked up, sda and sdb.
    I don't know how to run the second command you posted.
    I know the CD works because I am listening to music on it right now. I have a cd disk icon on my desktop, and I can click on it and see the list of the tracks, and I can open RythmBox and play the music, also I can click on an individual track and it will play with the movie player.

    Look in your /dev directory.

    Open your file manager, Nautilus and click on your CD and it should show you where it is mounted. You may also try from the terminal:

    Code:
    sudo blkid

    sudo blkid only shows my UID's of my two hardrives that I have on my ribbon.

    The screenshot I posted is from using nautilus

    If you wanted to view the files they're at ~/.gvfs/cdda mount on srX
    But that's not what you want to do with audacious or any other player

    Audacious has a plugin, (Audio Cd Plugin), should be enabled, ck. though - File > Preferences > Plugins

    To access directly from audacious, with cd in drive just open - Components > Play CD

    If wanting to ck., - > with cd in drive open terminal and go -
    Code:
    audacious2 -E cdda://
    Audacious can also be set as the default autorun on audio cd insertion, to do so properly, (so aud shows cd track info instead of 'Track 1, ect.), requires a small script and .desktop
    Quite easy - just ask (screen 2 ), if so what release of ubuntu are you using and post this file please. If it comes up blank just close without saving and note that.


    Code:
    gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

    Thanks mc4man.

    I found where the files were under the .gvfs folder and when I piut a CD in and type audacious2 -E cdda:// , audacious will run with all of the titles properly displayed. Although, i did get this message in the terminal :
    Code:
    		CDROM sensed: ATAPI    iHAP322   9      6L1H SCSI CD-ROM
    
    Audio CD Plugin should be updated to provide play().
    Plugin Audio CD Plugin should be updated to use OutputAPI::write_audio.
    and this command:
    Code:
    gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
    gives this:
