Audio cd doesn’t play

audioaudio-cdmount

I'm trying to play an audio CD in Debian but each time I insert the CD, while there appears an icon with the CD in the screen, when I try opening it I get the message:

Failed to mount "Audio CD". Location is not mountable.

I've been searching since yesterday but as I see there is a general problem with audio CDs because the system cannot mount them (they are iso data?)
So, is there a way to fix this problem?

Note: I have found suggestions of using cdparanoia or soundjuicer. Should these programs solve the problem(if truly there is one)?

Note2:

I have tried these:

   root@debian:/home/kwstas# mkdir /mnt/cd && mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd
   mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
   mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
   missing codepage or helper program, or other error

   In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
   dmesg | tail or so.



   root@debian:/home/kwstas# mkdir /mnt/cd && sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd
   mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/mnt/cd’: File exists


   root@debian:/home/kwstas# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd
   mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
   mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
   missing codepage or helper program, or other error

   In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
   dmesg | tail or so.`

Best Answer

You could try to use these commands in the terminal:

mkdir /mnt/cd && mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd

Else try this in the terminal:

sudo mkdir /mnt/cd && sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd

Or, if mkdir works:

mkdir /mnt/cd && sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd

Or, if the directory has already been created:

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd

Edit: I've googled and found this link.

It's about mounting an audio CD. It reads you can't mount them because of no filesystem. You need another program indeed.
