Will the forthcoming Elementary Freya automount removable media, optical discs and usb devices?
Yes, removable media is getting auto mounted. Contrary to other OS the file manager won't popup if you insert a media. Apparently there is no option to set the default action for audio CDs or DVDs, like open them in VLC or sth.
