Using Synaptic, I did see in the list of Debian packages, one that can change
songs off the CD into .wav files. Those could then be saved to the hard drive, and
once that partition is mounted, they could be played with XMMS. I have that on my list of things to do for Rapidweather Remaster of DSL, but have not done it yet. I even thought about putting a few favorites on the remastered cd, and point to them in the menu, for a demo-play. (can XMMS play .wav files?) I suppose one would still have to boot DSL as "knoppix toram" to play them, as is required to play music cd's.

Here is the link to the package:

the cdda2wav package would not have a graphical interface, so one would have to use it on the command line to create the .wav files for the cd tracks involved. Although it is the sort of thing that _can_ be put in a remaster, it would need _instructions_ in the getting started guide to work for the average user. Once they got the hang of it, it would be a useful addition.

I suppose that one could have a bunch of favorite songs on the USB flash memory backup device, and restore them when booting DSL.
.wav files are larger than mp3, however, so that would require either a hard drive partition or a larger USB stick to backup the songs.
