I'm trying to rip audio files from a CD onto a subdirectory of the Music directory. My Linux 12.04 LTS 32-bit came with Audacity, Brasero, Banshee, and Rhythmbox. (Yes, not one, four players. Go figure.) I tried playing the audio files with Audacity, Banshee, and Rhythmbox, but they all would freeze, so I would have to force-quit them. I was thinking about copy-and-paste, but I noticed that the icons of those files have a lock on them. So I tried this:
andrey@owner-VPCSC1AFM:~/.gvfs/cdda mount on sr0$ sudo cp ./* ~/Music/Scott Walker/Tilt/
[sudo] password for andrey:
cp: cannot stat `./Track 1.wav': Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `./Track 2.wav': Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `./Track 3.wav': Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `./Track 4.wav': Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `./Track 5.wav': Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `./Track 6.wav': Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `./Track 7.wav': Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `./Track 8.wav': Permission denied
cp: cannot stat `./Track 9.wav': Permission denied
... where ~/.gvfs/cdda mount on sr0 is actually the Audio Disc feature. I checked out the files' permissions:
andrey@owner-VPCSC1AFM:~/.gvfs/cdda mount on sr0$ ls -l
total 588881
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 70223776 Dec 31 1969 Track 1.wav
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 63852208 Dec 31 1969 Track 2.wav
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 93532096 Dec 31 1969 Track 3.wav
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 64468432 Dec 31 1969 Track 4.wav
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 55667248 Dec 31 1969 Track 5.wav
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 81877936 Dec 31 1969 Track 6.wav
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 89611312 Dec 31 1969 Track 7.wav
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 55260352 Dec 31 1969 Track 8.wav
-r-------- 1 andrey owner 28518112 Dec 31 1969 Track 9.wav
... and tried to manually change their permissions, and came up with this:
andrey@owner-VPCSC1AFM:~/.gvfs/cdda mount on sr0$ chmod 500 ./*
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 1.wav': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 2.wav': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 3.wav': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 4.wav': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 5.wav': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 6.wav': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 7.wav': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 8.wav': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `./Track 9.wav': Operation not supported
Is it not allowing me to change permissions because I did not do this as a super-user? So, I tried this:
andrey@owner-VPCSC1AFM:~/.gvfs/cdda mount on sr0$ sudo chmod 500 ./*
[sudo] password for andrey:
chmod: cannot access `./Track 1.wav': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `./Track 2.wav': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `./Track 3.wav': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `./Track 4.wav': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `./Track 5.wav': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `./Track 6.wav': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `./Track 7.wav': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `./Track 8.wav': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `./Track 9.wav': Permission denied

Alternatively, I could simply install a ripper application, like Asunder (source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2185451). I've installed Asunder, but for some reason it took a really long time (about 30 mins) to rip the whole CD. If you know a better ripper application (stable, all-audio-formats -friendly ripper application that does not take an eternity to rip a CD), please comment.

So, as you can see, not only do I have trouble playing and ripping CD audio files, but I also have trouble changing their permissions. Any help to redeem this issue would be much appreciated ... before I stupidly install one more extra media player that might make playing the files happen, or an unnecessary ripping program. I did find some similar threads on the forum (https://askubuntu.com/search?q=rip+audio), but they had quite different scenarios, not what I was looking for.
I'm definitely using Ubuntu.
- Audacity: 2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1;
- Banshee: 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise2;
- Rhythmbox: 2.96-0ubuntu4.3
I dont remember how I installed these.
