What program(s) are you using to listen to audio CDs? Are you trying to
mount them first? (you shouldn't) What device have you specified in your
audio cd player program for your CDRW? is it correct? 

I don't use KDE, personally. I do use XMMS on a fairly regular basis,
however, and it is capable of playing audio cds. When I use it, I press
"Ctrl-L" (to load a Location), and type /cdrom. /cdrom is mapped in my
/etc/fstab to /dev/cdrom. This in turn is mapped to /dev/sr0, which in
turn is mapped to /dev/scd0. So, what I'm getting at is for you to
figure out what the device is, and make sure your cd playing software is
configured to grab that device. Most likely, if your CDRW is the only CD
drive you have, it should be /dev/cdrom, which will symlink to the
appropriate device.
