I was assuming everyone would understand I was talking about a CentOS package. So I wasn't talking about installing from sources. This wouldn't be the correct list to ask about that anyway. As for it's being "a bit old", if software works and does a job that's needed, what does it matter if it's "old"? Maybe that just means no bugs have been found in it, so it hasn't been necessary to update it, make it *newer*. E.g., the "cat" command is also quite old. Should we on that account be dismissive of it as well? Should we not install it because it's "old"? That said, I have to ask you if you read the (rather short) webpage I gave the URL for? There it states there is a version of cdfs for kernel version 2.6.27, which is more recent than the latest from CentOS (for v.5.9 at any rate). So by what measure is cdfs "old" (if "old" were a meaningful measure of anything)? Sorry to be so frank, but it was doubtful that subtler language would be effective, I've heard this glib Tier 1 mantra already quite enough in this lifetime, and would very much like to dispel this and similar noetic cruft in hopes of actually engaging the relevant technological issues. Now back to the original question: Is cdfs available in CentOS...? or is there perhaps another way to mount audio CDs?
