Audio CDs don't have a filesystem that Linux understands. That's okay,
though, because the CD player programs access /dev/cdrom directly. Just
stick in the CD and go.

I think it would be nice to have a little CD filesystem, whereby you could
open the file and get the audio data or so. But you may have to wait a
while if that's what you're after.
