[newbie] Unreasonably annoying cdrom drive problem

For some odd reason, whenever I want to look through the contents of a data disc(this does not apply to audio CDs for some reason), I have to mount it manually. Occasionally it will say "Wrong medium type"(I assume this is when the disc is corrupt), but most of the time it works fine. Then, I have to unmount it to be able to pop the cd-rom drive. I'll include everything I know that has anything to do with the cd-rom drives:

The only thing I know about my cdrom drive is that it's supposed to be supermount. Looking at this stuff, I don't think it is. What should I add in?
