well technically you can't mount audio cd's. It's just the format the audio is in, there isn't really a filesystem to mount, just like you dont' mount dvd's to play them, you just read them in a raw format.

Check the permissions of the device file that corresponds to your cdrom. It must be readable by your user.

The device file might be called /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd for example, but that depends on your configuration.
Note: Sometimes there's a symlink called cdrom under /dev.
The permissions of the symlink *don't* count. Take a look at where it point to instead.

You might change the permissions on that device to allow read access to anyone (using the chmod command).
chmod 444 /dev/your/device/file
