Does Linux support “enhanced” CDs?

0

Some audio CDs are “enhanced” with additional data. Typically you will find that these CDs have the usual audio CD tracks as well as a data track which can be mounted as an ISO-9660 file system. An enhanced CD I examined had Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh applications on it (which won’t run directly under Linux of course, although I had partial success running the Windows application under the WINE Windows emulator). There were some GIF images which could be viewed using a standard viewer such as xv and some animations in Apple QuickTime format which could be viewed using the xanim program. It was a multi-session disk which some very old CD-ROM drives do not support reading. On the disc was a readme.txt file containing an Enhanced CD FAQ.
