CDDA's are not mountable.  I don't think there is any sort of 
filesystem associated with audio disks, unless they're a hybrid,
so it's understandable the mount command is giving you this message.
Simply insert the disk and use your favorite audio CD player 
software to listen to it.  Don't try to mount it.

If you're trying to copy an audio CD you'll need a ripper program,
like cdparanoia, or dao software.
