Re: [CentOS] CD emulation (a la daemontools)

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a method for mounting virtual CD devices with CD image files. I keep images (.CUE/.BIN pairs) of my CD collection on a NAS appliance tucked away in my closet. I'd like to write a script to mount each one, create ID tags, rip the tracks, then move along to the next one. I figure with a quad core opteron, it should be able to crank through them in a few days (it's a few thousand CD's worth of images). Anyone done this before with their trusty CentOS box? I'd be using CentOS 5.

Off the top of my head, I'd bchunk them into ISO images, then mount them with "-o loop". But it would be nice to skip bchunking them, such as with CDemu.
