Well, you won't be able to mount audio cds because they don't have a filesystem. You can listen to them using analog method (with the audio cable from the cd to the sound card) or digital extraction one (this is not default, but it can be easily enabled on XMMS and you don't need that cable).
Do you know which is the device file assigned to the CD-RW? Try: dmesg | grep CD
and see which is the correct device.
gbonvehi is correct, there is no file system on an audio CD. There is a pseudo file system you can try called CDFS but it's quite old, and I've never actually tried it myself. If you decide to give it a shot, let me know how it works out.

Ya, your right...can't mount an audio cd, but when I went to XMMS to import the files, there weren't there. I have never seen that before.
I'm getting this output
Code:
cmmiller@ladytron:~$ dmesg | grep cd
hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver.
ehci_hcd 00:02.2: PCI device 10de:00e8 (nVidia Corporation)
ehci_hcd 00:02.2: irq 10, pci mem e0a0dc00
ehci_hcd 00:02.2: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2003-Dec-29/2.4

Under dev, the cdrom is pointing at /hdc not /hdd.
thanks
This, coupled with your posted output earlier, would seem to indicate that cdrom is pointing to the wrong block device. You could, as root, give:
Code:
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom
Also, check the permissions, as usual. If you do not have read permission for hdd, you could make yourself a member of that group (cdrom on my machine) by editing /etc/group to make a line read
What kernel are you running?
On 2.4.32 I needed the append "hdd=ide-scsi" line in lilo.conf
On 2.6.16.22 append "hdd=ide-cd"
No other symlinks or permissions changes.

Kernel 2.4.31
Does it matter where I place hdd=ide-scsi in lilo.conf?
