clearly not with that entry in fstab

device control is handled by udev and it should be automatic.

Remember that audio CD's don't do a normal 'mount' - I don't know about
DVD's

If you insert a data CD and it doesn't automatically mount,
check /var/log/messages & dmesg for clues on why it isn't working.
