Cdfs

CDfs is a virtual Linux file system that provides access to individual data and audio tracks on compact discs. A compact disc mounted with the "CDfs" driver appears as a collection of files, each representing a single track. ......

I believe it's only available for 2.4 kernels, is it there for 2.6 kernel?
I remember compiling it by reading some weird how-to on slackware, using kernel 2.4.31. But that's over 1.5 years back and anyways I didn't understand much back then.

Just saw that it's available in the gentoo's portage.
It's available for F7, too - http://atrpms.net/dist/f7/cdfs/
So, check your package manager.

I think it doesnt have the popularity factor,also no release news since last 7 months

@ mehulved
Thanks for the link though I visited it earlier but failed in downloading the correct version out of excitement.. Ahh.. Finally I have installed it.. and guess what, it automounts VCD and others as it promised .. but alas .. even after this I am not able to directly copy the .DAT files.. but not to worry atleast I can rip them if I want
