Worked for me, after a bit of tweaking. As deewanagan said above, you need to specify the /media/iso folder, and you have to remember that no spaces are allowed in the folder names (change them to an underscore) and that uppercase letters needs to stay that way.

It is stated above that you need to change the path to the iso. READ PEOPLE READ.

To get mp3 from cd.toc and cd files, burn them to CD then you can use one of the extractors like Ripper-X or somthing similar. I was told that yYou must have the original source (record, tape, or cd) to have an MP3 back-up.

Brasero did two files from my audio CD:
cd.toc
cd
Now I’ve lost my original CD and need to grab mp3 files from my audio. How can I do it without burning?

I tried in this way:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/x/cd.toc /media/cd2
But I get the following responce:
“wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error”

Is there any possible way to do this in a non-root account. I want to be able to unmount the iso from the icon it creates on the desktop. I can mount cds and usb drives in my non-root account but iso’s need root?

tank u for this how to,i think in order to mount we should specify the folder on which we want to mount the .iso file. so the mount command should look like this :
“sudo mount -o loop /home/shamanstears/Documents/test.iso /media/iso”

The instructions are missing the mounting point. The correct command is:

sudo mount -o loop /home/shamanstears/Documents/test.iso /media/iso

when i do that, i get the message: mount: can’t find /path/to/iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab,
instead i issue this:
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/dir
which doesn’t rely on any auto mounting, or mapping extras that not all might have
