accessing cdrom drives
I'm borrowing a friend's KDE Debian 3.2 system for a bit till I get my computer back up. It's a an AMD 1800+ with 256mb of ram, a 20 gig hard drive, 52x cdrom, and a cd-rw drive..
Now, my problem is, I can't access the cd-rom drives. I know the commands and whatnot, but I get an error message saying there might be too many things mounted or something, I'll post a screen shot of it later. I just want to listen to music cd's while I'm using the computer. I've tried help files and google, but couldn't find anything. Any help is appreciated.

you don't need to mount audio CDs - just put in drive and run a cd player app, like kscd.

THis is the error message I get:
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
When I pop an audio cd in, it doesn't autoplay or anything, and when I try to access teh optical drives, I get the same message.

try that command as root, as i mentioned before, something like "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom". you might want to change "/mnt/cdrom" to "/media/cdrom", should work either though.
edit: if that still gives the same error... we can narrow it down. how many filesystems DO you have mounted? check /etc/fstab

You can't mount audio CD's coz they don't have a valid filesystem. To play audio CD's just put them in the cdrom drive, make sure you have read permissions to it and make sure your cd player program is pointing to that drive.
