Aha! Music CDs are not the same as data CD-ROMs. Music CDs do not have a
filesystem in the same sense as your hard drive or a data CD-ROM has
files and folders. Therefore, you cannot "mount" a music CD, although
there are several programs that can access the data. You should be able
to access music from your music CD using a program such as "grip" or
"lame" (I don't make up the names, I just report them).
Good luck!
Best wishes,
Clint
