Ken when I stick the CD in the drive I get a window that ask me if I want
to open it, play it, rip it, play it with (gives the usual list of guilty ones).
I select OPEN IT, and get a screen with several subdirectories and a
boat load of WAV files in the parent directory. I go to the directory labled
MP3 and pull the files out of there. I just select them all (^a) and the do
a copy (^c), move to the director where I am going to copy them to and
do a past, all of that because I can not figure out WHERE this system
is mounting that CD.
I just reloaded the CD in the drive and when KDE asked me what to do
with it, the file manager window shows this as the path:
system:/media/hdc/MP3
