As gets frequently mentioned on this list, audio discs aren't mounted,
and won't appear in the directory tree.  However, the drive is referred
to via a device, whatever's in it, and that's the sort of information
that you'd use to configure audio ripping software.

e.g. /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd

Have a look through your /dev/ directory, you'll see devices like that,
symbolically linked to IDE (e.g. /dev/hdc) or SCSI (e.g. /dev/scd..)
devices.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
