You cannot 'mount' music CDs. They don't have a file system. mp3 cds ARE data cds (there is no difference between a mp3 cd and a data cd, except that the 'data' on a mp3 cd happens to be mp3 data files).

You have two options:

you use a cd player program (such as xmcd) to play the music
you use a 'ripper' program to copy the cdda tracks to wav files or something. I guess you can use dd to copy the music tracks as-is, which is only useful if you intend to burn them onto a new *music* CD-R.

There is nothing like iso9660 on a audio cd, but of course it is possible to write a file system driver which lets the tracks appear as files. See http://www.elis.rug.ac.be/~ronsse/cdfs/
