You can only mount media that have a supported filesystem driver. The 'mount' command you are issuing is assuming the CD has a iso9660 filesystem on it (i.e. you are implicitly saying 'mount -t iso9660'), but a regular audio CD does not have an iso9660 filesystem and only has audio tracks. Some CDs have both iso9660 filesystems as well as audio tracks; those will be mounted successfully, but you will only see the data content (the audio tracks will not appear as part of the filesystem). Further, some CDs have both iso9660 and hfs filesystems (mixed mode CDs -- designed for running on either Mac or PCs), so either filesystem can be mounted. Back to the audio CDs: if you want, you can mount audio CDs and the audio tracks will be represented as .wav files using the cdfs driver. CDfs is my preferred way of playing music CDs on my computer, though I'm not sure how it behaves if given a copy-protected audio CD. CDfs is not part of the standard kernel, so you will need to build it separately or patch the kernel to include it.
