This usually applies more to DVDs than CDs, but perhaps it will crack the nut. I realize that getting these packages is problematic if you live in "certain places"; however, I believe that they are available in the VideoLAN repositories, as well as in deb-multimedia and MEPIS / mx /antiX repositories. ######### # https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html ## VideoLan - VLC # https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html # wget -O - http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc | sudo apt-key add - # libdvdcss is available through Git or by browsing the releases. # Git checkout # $ git clone http://code.videolan.org/videolan/libdvdcss.git deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ / deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ / ######### Change *debian* and *stable* according to your own distribution, of course.

I have seen CDs like you describe before, with wav files as well as mp3s and ogg, all contained in folders in the CD structure, but I was able to copy them using fuse with no problem. These were older CDs, though, and I must admit that all my CDs have been in storage for a couple years now, so in the meanwhile things might have changed for the worse. You might try opening Konqueror as root: tdesu konqueror and try this again with fuse9660. If you still have this problem, I will get some of my own CDS, and do a little experimentation and research to see if I can still manage this with newer discs. Bill
