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

$ /bin/ls -l /dev/cdrom
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.
