Unable to mount CDROMs

I have a run accross a problem when trying to manually mount cdroms. I have tried is xfce4's terminal and in straight command line. After doing su of course.

# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

I have also done mount -t iso9660/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

dmesg | tail outputs:

Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 6
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 7
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 64
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16
agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 64
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16

Can anyone help? BTW, I can mount DVDs and I tried three audio cds without avail.

Re: Unable to mount CDROMs

Remember that you can't mount audio CDs, only data CDs.
If mounting data CDs doesn't work, check if your user is in the group optical.

Duh. Thankyou.  Glimpses of memories appear through the dense sea fog...
Will Google a cd ripping solution.

You're welcome. I once did exactly the same mistake as you and searched for hours, that's why I'm well aware of that now

Try "grip", I used it some time ago and it did a good job ripping my small collection of CDs.
