Hi Scott,

I assume you're running FreeBSD 2.1.  The reason you can't mount
a music CDROM is that it doesn't have the ISO 9660 filesystem.
Try using the "cdplay" command.  It should have a man page.  This
was  the only music cd playing command that I could get working
for my CR581 4x IDE cdrom.  Good luck!!
