Try to read the man page and use the direct access to the related functions.

Start with readcd -scanbus
If you continue with readcd dev=xxx (only needed at all if you have more than
one CD like drive), you could e.g. try readcd f=out-file -noerror
If your drive cannot read the toc or otherwise believes there is no medium,
readcd cannot help. You need to check why the toc cannot be read. If the CD ic
scratched, then try to use Plexiglass polishing paste. Be carefull to prevent
polishing paste to slip to the paint side and to let the CD move on the paint
side.
