 I have a lot of music cd's that i have baught over the years and went to play 
 them today, but couldnt mount my /cdrom drive.
 
 How do i go about playing music cd's ?  I have FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE and Xmms 
 installed.

You don't have to mount anything, install goobox or some other Audio CD
software, it will access the CD and play it.

HTH,

It would be kind of stupid, but it isn't the case.

Why can I not mount an audio CD?

Go to Xmms preferences and configure the cd audio player plugin. There you 
can set the cd device and an associated directory. Even though you don't need 
to mount audio cds, in  xmms you play a cd by playing this directory as if it 
were a directory of audio files. It makes sense to  make it the same as your 
mountpoint. 

Note that there are two ways to play CDs, one is via the direct link between 
the drive and the sound-card, the other is to read the tracks of the disk and 
play them like files. Basic CD player apps only use the former, but more 
sophisticated players like xmms can do either. I mention this because if you 
dont have that wire fitted, you will need to switch the xmms cd plugin to 
digital audio extraction.
