Hi Joe

OK, You know that an audio CD does not have to be mounted. If it is not 
mounted, don't expect to see anything in the /cdrom directory. To play the 
CD, use the command-line program "cdplay" (it's in the "cdtool" package) or 
point xmms to /dev/cdrom (that could work, I have never used xmms before)
