If you are trying to mount the CD and then play it, you don't do that with an audio CD. Just put the CD in and close the tray and then select the player of your choice. If you use CD Player then the play list should load automatically. If you use ALSA or XMMs you have to make selections to get it to go. But the point is that audio cds don't need a mount command.
