I used a program called grip to encode my CD collection. At no time was the
CD mounted. Since an audio CD doesn't have a filesystem, there's no way you
can mount it. It just ain't gonna happen.
As far as I've been able to figure, the ripper does an access to the raw
device - for example, on my laptop the CDROM drive is /dev/hdc, and the
ripper just goes straight to /dev/hdc without even thinking about doing a
mount.
Might sound a bit odd, but hey ... that's just the way it is. ::shrug:: I'm
not real sure about it all, but it works.
