that's expected.  audio CDs don't really have a filesystem.

ls: /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory
/dev/cdrom doesn't exist by default.  you want /dev/rcd0c.  note

the 'r'.

'cdplay' rips the tracks and sends them to the soundcard as digital

data.  'play' tells the cd drive to output the data on the analog

outputs.  either you don't have your cd drive audio outputs physically

connected to your soundcard's inputs, or you have the corresponding

inputs muted or turned down too low.
