Description:

This is simply an automated mount/unmount shell script for Marco 
Nelissen's CDDA filesystem addon. It will automatically find the path 
to the first CDROM device on your system so you don't have to. It 
mounts the CDDA when you execute it (of course) but it also checks to 
see if the CDDA is already mounted and if so, it will UNMOUNT the 
CDDA, cleaning up after itself. 
 
This also comes with an updated (working) version of my installer 
script that uses alert dialog boxes to interact with the user, and 
will create links to the un/mount script in the Be menu, as well as a 
link to the WAV files of the freshly mounted CDDA. Both shortcuts are 
optional with the alert dialogs. 
 
The only pitfalls I'm aware of are that the shortcut to the CDDA 
directory in the Be menu will show up as a broken link when a CDDA 
isn't mounted. I don't know of a way around this. :( The other 
pitfall is it currently only uses the first CDROM drive in the 
heirarchy, so it might not work right if you have multiple drives. 
I'm thinking about trying to find a way around this in case people 
are interested. So let me know if you are.
