Steve, Audio CD do not have a file system (so I am told). You must _not_ a CDROM prior to using the CD player. Make sure you have done the "umount" from the CD and then launch the CD player.
Try using Xmms. Here you can indicate the mount point (ex: /dev/cdrom) explicitly. The player should then automatically list the tracks and "voil�, musique !" HTH.
