53 If you're talking about "proper" Audio-CD as one that's audio-only, no
54 mixed data in there as well, then yes, I'm sure. And I have over 500
55 CDs; I can't test them all. :-P But yeah, a selection of CDs have all
56 had the same result. And only on Linux; the same CDs have read fine
57 from Windows.

59 The mp3 error screenshot was trying to copy the MP3 files from the CD
60 through Konqueror's "audiocd:\" location to my hard drive. I assume
61 Konqueror tries to auto-convert the CD tracks to MP3s on the fly. The
62 log file I had attached should have been called "messages.bz2"; it's the
63 kernel log file.
64
65 Oh, and I only own a few CDs that have DRM on them. And no, they
66 weren't the ones that I've tested.
