Audio CDs do not contain a normal filesystem like a data CD and cannot
be mounted. You can run gnome-cd or from your Fedora Menu go to "Sound
& Video" -> "CD Player" and you will be able to play the audio CD.

You wil need to play a DVD through an application as well. You can use
MPlayer, Xine or Totem to play that DVD. I use MPlayer for all video
files and Xine to play DVDs since Xine supports DVD menus.

The box said: "Requires Windows 98/2000/NT/XP or better."
So, I installed LINUX!
