In order to mount a given device, that device needs to be formatted with one
of the known filesystem types (see "man mount" for a list of them if
you're running a fairly recent distribution).  Audio CDs have no filesystem
on them - they are raw data (at least as far as I know).  So you can't mount 
them.
